A virtual object control method is provided. When there is a need to trigger a skill, a terminal determines a to-be-cast range of a skill and a target virtual object in the to-be-cast range, and displays a cast indication pattern of the skill according to positions of a controlled virtual object and the target virtual object. The terminal adjusts, in response to a position of either virtual object of the controlled virtual object and the target virtual object being changed, the displaying of the cast indication pattern in real time. Thus, it is ensured that the terminal automatically adjusts a pointing direction of the cast indication pattern with the change in the position of the virtual object, so that the cast indication pattern may be associated with the position of the target virtual object. Apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium counterpart embodiments are also provided.

A virtual object control method is described. A skill type of a skill is obtained in response to a first click/tap operation on a skill control. In response to determining that the obtained skill type of the skill is a target skill that supports selecting a casting position based on a screen click/tap, a castable region of the skill in a virtual scene is displayed according to a position where a controlled virtual object is located and a casting range of the skill. In response to a second click/tap operation in the castable region, the controlled virtual object is controlled to cast the skill at a casting position indicated by the second click/tap operation. Thus, a complex drag operation based on a wheel virtual joystick need not be performed, simplifying the operation of accurate aiming by a user. Apparatus and non-transitory computer-readable counterpart embodiments are also provided.
