Optionally, the game mode of the first virtual character includes a plurality of game modes, which respectively correspond to different character states or positions, for example, the game mode includes a fighting light power mode and a default mode, and in the default mode, the first virtual character cannot release fighting skills in a flight process, that is, only can fly or release the fighting skills.

In this embodiment, in the light power fighting mode, besides the "eaves and walk on the wall", the "grass flying", "floating on the water", "stepping on the tree for helping" and the like can be realized, in the above process, the first virtual character can fight because the light power is not flying, but cannot hover in the air for a long time (can fly for a short time), and a supporting point, such as a wall surface, a grass tip, a water surface and the like, is required, and this supporting point refers to the second environmental element which is vertically intersected with the second environmental element in the game scene in this embodiment.

The maximum speed may be a speed of the first virtual character at the drop point position, or a speed at a position in the middle of the parabolic track, and may be set according to a visual effect of the light skill, for example, the plunging light skill may set the maximum speed at the drop point position, and the light skill may set the maximum speed at the middle position.

S23, if the second position parameter meets a second preset condition, playing a preset turning animation in the game scene;

and S24, displaying the first virtual corner pigment on the second sub-element after the preset turning animation is played.

In some scenes, taking the first sub-element and the second sub-element as two wall surfaces respectively as an example, when a first virtual character flies and jumps between the two wall surfaces at a certain angle, an empty turning animation is set, if the player character jumps between the two wall surfaces, firstly, the moving direction of the player character and whether an obstacle exists on a moving route are judged, if no obstacle exists, a special effect is triggered, a section of preset turning animation is played, and after the playing is finished, the player character is switched to the wall surface where a destination is located.
