  • Publication number: 20240325910
    Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure disclose a virtual object control method and apparatus, a computer device, and a storage medium. At least two touch positions through which a touch operation passes are determined, and a target touch position determined according to the at least two touch positions is comprehensively considered, thereby avoiding a case in which an aiming direction is determined based on an inaccurate last touch position generated due to an erroneous operation of a user.

  • Patent number: 12064693
    Abstract: Provided are a virtual object selection method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium, belonging to the field of computer and Internet technologies. When a client controls a first virtual object to perform a first operation, and a plurality of second virtual objects are distributed densely in an execution range of the first operation, the client offsets logical positions of the plurality of second virtual objects to ensure that the plurality of second virtual objects may be distinguished and a target virtual object is selected from the plurality of second virtual objects based on offset logical positions. Accordingly, a user is prevented from spending much time to select the target virtual object from the execution range of the first operation, thereby reducing operation time costs of the user and improving the operation efficiency.

  • Publication number: 20240143145
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for aiming at a virtual object in a virtual environment, which: displays a user interface (UI), the UI including a picture of a virtual environment including a first virtual object and at least one second virtual object located in the virtual environment; displays a dot aiming indicator in the virtual environment in response to an aiming instruction, the dot aiming indicator being used for indicating an aiming point selected by an aiming operation on a ground plane of the virtual environment; and controls the first virtual object to aim at a target virtual object, which is a virtual object selected from a second virtual object in a target selection range which is a selection range determined by using the aiming point as a benchmark.

  • Publication number: 20240082729
    Abstract: A virtual object control method and apparatus, a terminal, and a storage medium. The method includes: displaying a virtual scene interface, the virtual scene interface including a first virtual object, second virtual objects, and ability controls; determining, in response to a first trigger operation on a first ability control, a target virtual object from the second virtual objects and according to the first trigger operation, and controlling the first virtual object to cast a first ability on the target virtual object; determining the target virtual object as an ability casting target corresponding to a second ability when a second trigger operation on a second ability control meets an ability continuous casting condition, the second trigger operation being triggered during ability casting of the first ability; and controlling the first virtual object to cast the second ability on the target virtual object.
