Abstract: A real-time contextual information display method, apparatus, non-transitory storage medium, and electronic device is described herein. The method may include causing to be output a function interaction button during running of a virtual game task in which a first virtual object participates, controlling, based on a triggering of the function interaction button, the first virtual object to use a target function corresponding to a first-level state and a second-level state, determining and causing to be output level information of the target function and progress information of the target function, determining and causing to be output, based on a first use progress satisfying an upgrade condition corresponding to the first-level state, updated level information of the target function and updated progress information of the target function.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a game image including a first virtual character at a first space location in a game scene of a gaming application. The game scene includes a target sound associated with a second space location in the game scene. The method also includes displaying first orientation prompt information of the target sound according to a three-dimensional virtual sphere in the game image. The first orientation prompt information includes a first marker, a second marker, and a first connecting line between the first marker and the second marker. The first marker is located at a first location of the three-dimensional virtual sphere associated with the first space location, the second marker is located at a second location of the three-dimensional virtual sphere associated with the second space location, and the first connecting line indicates a first orientation of the second space location relative to the first space location.

Abstract: A method includes displaying a virtual map of a virtual environment including an identification of a first virtual object and an identification of a second virtual object in the virtual environment, and displaying a hot zone display element on the virtual map in response to a determination that the first virtual object interacts with the second virtual object. The hot zone display element indicates a map area in which the first virtual object interacts with the second virtual object. The method further includes displaying a visual field picture of the virtual environment from a perspective of the first virtual object or the second virtual object in response to a trigger operation on the hot zone display element.
