  • Patent number: 10786733
    Abstract: A method for releasing virtual skill object based on user gesture is provided. A user character object is rendered in a GUI. The user character object can perform a virtual operation according to an input user command. A skill operation trigger gesture on at least one skill object available to be released by the user character object is detected in a skill operation area in the GUI. Movement of the skill object and a release location of the skill object is determined according to a skill release trigger gesture. A distance between the release location and the user character object is determined. When the distance is greater than a skill release distance, the user character object is adjusted to move towards the release location. A skill release operation on the skill object is performed based on the release location when detecting a skill operation release gesture on the skill object.
