VIRTUAL OBJECT CONTROL METHOD AND APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM, PROGRAM PRODUCT AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE

Disclosed in the embodiments of the present application are a virtual object control method and apparatus, and a storage medium, a program product and an electronic device. The method comprises: displaying in the current virtual scene a target virtual object, a second virtual object, and a first auxiliary virtual object associated with the target virtual object, wherein the second virtual object and the target virtual object are respectively located in different camps; in response to an attack operation of the second virtual object on the target virtual object, reducing an active state parameter of the target virtual object; in response to the active state parameter of the target virtual object being lower than a target threshold value, controlling the first auxiliary virtual object to generate a target auxiliary area for the target virtual object; and configuring the target virtual object, which is located in the target auxiliary area, to be in a protected state, wherein a first hit rate of an attack operati
