Description

Methods, devices, equipment, and storage media for controlling virtual objects Cross-reference of related applications This application is based on Chinese Patent Application No. 202411548436.4, filed on October 31, 2024, and claims priority to that Chinese Patent Application, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference. Technical Field This application relates to the field of computer technology, and in particular to a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for controlling virtual objects. Background Technology In most games, if a user wants to have their own pet, they need to capture the virtual pet by controlling the main virtual object. Once the virtual pet is successfully captured, it becomes the pet of the main virtual object. In related technologies, when controlling a master virtual object to capture a virtual pet, it is necessary to execute operations on the capture control. For example, each time an operation is executed on the capture control, the virtual pet is captured once. If the virtual pet is not captured successfully, the operation on the capture control is executed again, and the virtual pet is captured again, until the virtual pet is captured. However, in the aforementioned technologies, each capture of a virtual pet corresponds to an operation on the capture control. That is, each capture of a virtual pet requires triggering the capture control separately, and the user needs to repeat the operation multiple times. The repetitiveness of the operation steps directly leads to increased time costs, and the interval between multiple operations may reduce the continuity of capture, resulting in low capture efficiency for virtual pets. Summary of the Invention This application provides a method, apparatus, device, and storage medium for controlling virtual objects, which can improve the efficiency of capturing virtual pets. The technical solution provided by this application is as follows: This application provides a method for controlling a virtual object, the method comprising: Display a virtual environment, which includes a main virtual object and a virtual pet; The system receives a first trigger operation from a capture control for the virtual pet, wherein the first trigger operation is used to generate multiple consecutive capture operations for the virtual pet, and the probability of successfully capturing the virtual pet in each capture operation is less than 1. In response to the first triggering operation, the master virtual object is controlled to perform at least one capture operation on the virtual pet until the virtual pet is successfully captured or the number of capture operations generated by the first triggering operation is exhausted. This application provides a control device for a virtual object, the device comprising: The display module is configured to display a virtual environment, which includes a main virtual object and a virtual pet. The receiving module is configured to receive a first trigger operation of the capture control for the virtual pet, wherein the first trigger operation is used to generate multiple consecutive capture operations for the virtual pet, and the probability of successfully capturing the virtual pet in each capture operation is less than 1. The control module is configured to respond to the first trigger operation by controlling the main virtual object to perform at least one capture operation on the virtual pet until the virtual pet is successfully captured or the number of capture operations generated by the first trigger operation is exhausted. This application provides a terminal device, which includes a processor and a memory. The memory stores a computer program, which is loaded and executed by the processor to implement the above-described virtual object control method. This application provides a computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program, which is loaded and executed by a processor to implement the above-described virtual object control method. This application provides a computer program product, which includes a computer program that is loaded and executed by a processor to implement the above-described virtual object control method. The embodiments of this application can bring the following beneficial effects: Considering the low capture efficiency caused by the need to perform an operation on the capture control for each capture in related technologies, the technical solution provided in this application can generate multiple consecutive capture operations for virtual pets through one step or one operation on the capture control (i.e., the first trigger operation). The success probability of each capture is independent (all less than 1). This relaxation reduces the number of user interactions from the source of operation. Users do not need to perform a separate trigger action for each capture; instead, they can start the continuous capture process with a single operation. Thus, the op
