  • Publication number: 20230037089
    Abstract: An operation control method is provided. A virtual scene of a virtual character and a movement control interface are displayed. The movement control interface is configured to receive a movement control operation to control movement of the virtual character in the virtual scene. A switch configuration interface is displayed in response to a switch configuration operation being performed on the movement control interface. The switch configuration interface is configured to receive a switch attribute configuration control operation for the virtual character. Target attribute configuration information for the virtual character is determined in response to the switch attribute configuration control operation being performed on the switch configuration interface. Further, the virtual character is controlled based on the target attribute configuration information.
