Abstract
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.
