This application includes a method and an apparatus for constructing a target object in a virtual environment of an application, a device, and a storage medium. A first picture of the virtual environment is displayed according to a first perspective corresponding to a first observation direction of a virtual movable object in the virtual environment. An object construction controller corresponding to the target object is displayed. A touch operation on the object construction controller is received. A target construction position of the target object is determined based on the touch operation, a target distance, and the first observation direction of the virtual movable object. A touch release operation corresponding to the touch operation is received. Further, the target object is constructed at the determined target construction position according to the touch release operation.
