controlling the virtual bullet to stop moving in response to detecting that the virtual bullet hits a virtual obstacle within the preset distance and

controlling the virtual bullet to stop moving in response to the virtual bullet hitting additional n second virtual objects within the preset distance, n being a positive integer.

11. The method according to claim 1 , further comprising:

transmitting a detection ray from a designated position from which the virtual bullet is fired, wherein a trajectory of the detection ray overlaps with a movement trajectory of the virtual bullet; and

determining whether the virtual bullet hits the second virtual object in the game battle by determining whether the detection ray intersects a collision box of the second virtual object.

12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the first duration is 0.

13. A virtual object control apparatus, comprising a processor coupled to a display screen, and a memory; one or more programs being stored in the memory, the processor being configured, when executing the one or more programs, to:
