  • Publication number: 20250135341
    Abstract: A method for performing interactions between virtual objects in a virtual environment is performed by an electronic device. The method includes: displaying an interaction interface, the interface including one or more selectable interactions; in response to a trigger operation for any interaction, displaying an action marker of the interaction associated with a first virtual object; and when at least one second virtual object appears within an interaction range of the first virtual object and carries the action marker of the interaction, playing a marker fusion special effect based on a plurality of action markers within the interaction range, the marker fusion special effect providing an interaction special effect when the plurality of action markers converge within the interaction range. By using the above method, the interaction modes based on interactions are enriched.

  • Publication number: 20250138718
    Abstract: This application discloses an application interface control method performed by a computer device. The method includes: displaying an application interface in a landscape state, the application interface including operable elements, and the operable elements including at least one first operable element located in a one-handed operation region and at least one second operable element located outside the one-handed operation region; receiving a shielding operation on a light sensor, the light sensor being configured to collect light intensity of an environment in which the computer device is located, and the light sensor being located in the one-handed operation region in the landscape state; and controlling, based on the shielding operation, the application interface to move, to cause the second operable element to move into the one-handed operation region. Using the foregoing method helps improve efficiency of an one-handed operation in a landscape state.

  • Publication number: 20250010186
    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.

  • Publication number: 20240325905
    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.

  • Publication number: 20230321541
    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.
