Abstract: An object management method includes: obtaining position information of a first object added in a scene; determining, from an object management tree corresponding to the scene, a first node according to the position information of the first object; dividing, in response to that a quantity of objects contained in the area corresponding to the first node is greater than an upper limit after the first object is added to the area corresponding to the first node, the area corresponding to the first node into n sub-areas according to position information of objects contained in the area corresponding to the first node; and configuring, in the object management tree, n nodes in one-to-one correspondence with the n sub-areas.

Abstract: In a data processing method, a query distance range is determined based on current position information of a character controlled by a user in a virtual scene. Data for a plurality of non-player characters (NPCs) from a database is determined based on NPCs to be placed in the query distance range. The data includes a plurality of attributes respectively corresponding to each of the plurality of the NPCs. Weights are determined for each of the plurality of NPCs. A first number of NPCs is generated based on a descending order of the weights for each of the plurality of NPCs. The first number of NPCs is a subset of the plurality of NPCs. The generated first number of NPCs are transmitted to a client controlling the player-controlled character to cause the client to display, in the query distance range, virtual images corresponding to the first number of NPCs.
