1. A virtual object control method, comprising:
determining, by processing circuitry in response to a triggering operation on a skill of a controlled virtual object in a virtual scene, a to-be-cast range of the skill;
determining whether a target virtual object is located in the determined range of the skill;
in response to determining that the target virtual object is located in the determined range of the skill of the controlled virtual object, displaying a cast direction or a cast location of the skill based on positions of the controlled virtual object and the target virtual object in the virtual scene; and
in response to a determination that a position of the controlled virtual object or a position of the target virtual object has changed, adjusting the displayed cast direction or cast location according to the change in the position of the controlled virtual object or the target virtual object.
