Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION(S) This application is a continuation application of International Application No. PCT/CN2021/112846, filed on Aug. 16, 2021, which claims priority to Chinese Patent Application No. 202010988341.X filed with the China National Intellectual Property Administration on Sep. 18, 2020, the disclosures of which are incorporated by reference in their entireties. FIELD The disclosure relates to the field of computers, and specifically, to a method and apparatus for controlling a virtual object, a storage medium, and an electronic device. BACKGROUND In a virtual scene, a plurality of virtual props are often configured for a current virtual object controlled by a user. In the solution provided in the related art, another virtual object (different from the current virtual object) may only be affected by the virtual prop within an action range of the virtual prop, and the virtual prop does not have any effect in a case that the another virtual object is located beyond the action range of the virtual prop. In other words, in a case that the user intends to control the another virtual object by using the virtual prop, due to the operation having high operational limitation, the user needs to first control the current virtual object to move to ensure that the another virtual object is located with the action range of the virtual prop held by the current virtual object, and then release the virtual prop within the action range, thereby achieving controlling of the another virtual object. That is to say, other additional preparation operations are usually also required in a case that the another virtual object is controlled through the current virtual object, which increases operation complexity in a process of controlling the virtual object, resulting in low efficiency of controlling the virtual object. For the foregoing problem, no effective solution has been provided yet. SUMMARY An embodiment the disclosure may provide a method for controlling a virtual object, performed by an electronic device, the method including: obtaining an interactive operation in a virtual scene, the interactive operation being used for controlling a first virtual object to release a virtual prop at a target position; releasing the virtual prop at the target position, and displaying a target region triggered by the virtual prop in the virtual scene, the target region including the target position; and enhancing a target attribute of a virtual object in a first object group in the virtual scene in a case that the first virtual object is located in the target region, the first object group being an object group to which the first virtual object belongs. In some embodiments an apparatus for controlling a virtual object may be provided, the apparatus including: a first obtaining unit, configured to obtain an interactive operation in a virtual scene, the interactive operation being used for controlling a first virtual object to release a virtual prop at a target position; a response unit, configured to release the virtual prop at the target position, and display a target region triggered by the virtual prop in the virtual scene, the target region including the target position; and a first enhancement unit, configured to enhance a target attribute of a virtual object in a first object group in the virtual scene in a case that the first virtual object is located in the target region, the first object group being an object group to which the first virtual object belongs. Some embodiments may further provide a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing a computer program, the computer program being configured to perform, when run, the method for controlling a virtual object provided. Some embodiments may further provide an electronic device, including a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor, the processor performing, through the computer program, the method for controlling a virtual object.
