displaying a virtual scene comprising a first virtual character, a second virtual character, and at least two ability controls, the first virtual character being a user controlled character, and each of the at least two ability controls having a first control region;
based on a first operation on the first control region of a first ability control of the at least two ability controls, determining that the second virtual character is a target virtual character based on a casting range of the first ability, and controlling the first virtual character to cast a first ability on the target virtual character;
determining the target virtual character as an ability casting target corresponding to a second ability based on a second operation on the first control region of a second ability control meeting an ability continuous casting condition; and
controlling the first virtual character to cast the second ability on the target virtual character.
