Virtual vehicle control method and apparatus, device, and computer-readable storage medium

An electronic device, comprising a processor and a memory, the memory having at least one piece of program code stored therein, and the at least one piece of program code being loaded and executed by the processor to cause the electronic device to implement a virtual vehicle control method including:

• displaying a virtual vehicle in a virtual scene;
• in response to receiving a first operation on a first direction component, a second operation on a foot brake component and a third operation on an accelerator component, determining a target time point based on a trigger moment of the third operation;
• determining a driving speed and a driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point;
• and
• in response to the driving speed of the virtual vehicle at the target time point being greater than a speed threshold and the driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point being a straight-forward driving state, controlling the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift in a direction indicated by the first direction component.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, having at least one piece of program code stored thereon, the at least one piece of program code being loaded and executed by a processor of an electronic device to cause the electronic device to implement a virtual vehicle control method including:

• and
• in response to the driving speed of the virtual vehicle at the target time point being greater than a speed threshold and the driving state of the virtual vehicle at the target time point being a straight-forward driving state, controlling the virtual vehicle to perform inertial drift in a direction indicated by the first direction component.
