  • Publication number: 20250032924
    Abstract: In a method for controlling a virtual object in a virtual scene which is displayed by a first terminal. A first account is logged in to the first terminal. The virtual scene includes at least one first virtual object at a first position and that is associated with the first account. An interaction invitation interface is displayed. An interaction request is transmitted to at least one second terminal in response to a trigger operation for the interaction invitation interface. Each of the second terminal is associated with a different second account. Each of at least one second virtual object is controlled to interact with the at least one first virtual object in response to an interaction request and based on whether a distance between a second position of the respective second virtual object and the first position is less than a first distance threshold.

  • Patent number: 12099691
    Abstract: This application discloses a method and an apparatus for picking up a virtual item in a virtual environment, a terminal, and a computer-readable storage medium, which belong to the field of human-computer interaction. The method can include displaying a user interface, and obtaining, according to a first instruction triggered by an interaction operation on the user interface, an operation trajectory formed by the interaction operation on the user interface. The method can further include obtaining, in a case that the operation trajectory forms an enclosed region, at least two target virtual items located in the enclosed region in the virtual environment, aggregating the target virtual items in a designated location in the virtual environment, and controlling, in a case that the virtual object moves to the designated location, the virtual object to pick up the target virtual items.
