1. A virtual object control method, executed by an electronic device, the method comprising:
controlling a first virtual object to cast a first skill in response to a first operation on a first skill control, wherein the first virtual object moves from a first position to a second position when casting the first skill;
obtaining a second operation on a second skill control during casting of the first skill by the first virtual object and when the first virtual object is at a current position, the current position being different from the second position;
displaying, before the first virtual object completes the casting of the first skill, a skill casting indicator of a second skill based on the second position for the second operation, the skill casting indicator indicating an influence range of the second skill, the influence range being determined using the second position as a reference point of an aiming position; and
controlling the first virtual object to cast the second skill at the second position according to the influence range after the first virtual object completes casting of the first skill.
