This application relates to a method for controlling a virtual character, a
computer device, and a readable storage medium. The method includes: displaying an interactive interface, the interactive interface including a first trigger control and a virtual character; responding to a trigger operation on the first trigger control, controlling the virtual character to enter a preparation state for a target interaction command, and displaying the virtual character in the preparation state and the
target control on the interactive interface; responding to a first trigger operation on the
target control, determining a first
interaction range and a first
interaction object, and displaying the first
interaction range and the first
interaction object on the interactive interface; responding to a release operation on the
target control, controlling a target item corresponding to the target interaction command to interact with the first
interaction object according to the first
interaction range, and displaying the interaction process between the target item and the first interaction object on the interactive interface, thereby achieving remote interaction without requiring the virtual character to physically contact the interaction objects, thus improving interaction efficiency.
