Abstract: This application relates to virtual object control, including: displaying a virtual scene including a first virtual object controlled by a user and a second virtual object not controlled by the user; in response to an operation against the second object, controlling the first object to fight against the second object in the virtual scene to reduce an attribute value of the second object; when the attribute value is less than a preset threshold, displaying conversion prompt information; in response to a conversion operation on the second object, playing a conversion animation, and displaying conversion progress indication information and object type options; and in response to the selection of a target object type option and the conversion progress indication information indicating the completion of playing of the conversion animation, converting the second object into a dependent virtual object of the first object.
