  • Publication number: 20240126372
    Abstract: The disclosure relates to a virtual reality interactive method, apparatus, electronic device, and readable storage medium, wherein the method provides feedback for a first and second virtual objects separately by determining a first feedback instruction related to control and/or attribute parameters of the first virtual object and a second feedback instruction related to attribute parameters of the second virtual object in responding to a control instruction of the first virtual object, wherein the first virtual object is a virtual object operated by a user, and the second virtual object is an interactive object of the first virtual object; and executing the first and second feedback instructions, thereby giving the user richer feedback, facilitating user understanding and operation of virtual objects according to the feedback of different virtual objects, changing interaction states between virtual objects, and improving interaction fun, thus solving the problem of limited feedback information of existing vi

  • Patent number: 11878243
    Abstract: A game unit control method and apparatus are provided. The method includes: in response to a preset grouping trigger operation, displaying a first grouping control in a preset range of at least one game unit indicator; in response to a first grouping operation acting on the first grouping control, adjusting a coverage range of the first grouping control; and determining game units indicated by a game unit indicator corresponding to the adjusted coverage range of the first grouping control as a first group of target game units. In the present embodiment, a first grouping control is used to quickly group game units, thereby enabling a player to operate on game units of multiple classes at the same time, so as to improve the game experience of the player.
