Abstract
A virtual object control method includes controlling a first virtual object in a virtual environment through a first behavior tree, the first virtual object being a Non-Player character (NPC) in the virtual environment, and obtaining a first distance between the first virtual object and a second virtual object controlled by a player in the virtual environment, the second virtual object being a closest virtual object controlled by a player to the first virtual object. The method further includes selecting, based on the first distance, a behavior tree among plural behavior trees for controlling the first virtual object. The first distance inversely relates to an amount of computing resources consumed during use of the selected behavior tree.
