Delivery of virtual effect

An apparatus, comprising:

• processing circuitry configured to:
• display a delivery point selection interface based on a user selection of a target virtual effect received from a user of a first virtual object, the target virtual effect being configured to change an attribute value of a second virtual object within an effect range of the target virtual effect;
• determine a target delivery point of the target virtual effect based on a delivery point selection received from the user of the first virtual object via the delivery point selection interface;
• determine a target delivery mechanism is a first delivery mechanism based on a delivery distance between the target delivery point and a position of the first virtual object being less than a first distance threshold, the first delivery mechanism corresponding to a first delivery precision;
• determine the target delivery mechanism is a second delivery mechanism based on the delivery distance being greater than or equal to the first distance threshold, the second delivery mechanism corresponding to a second delivery precision lower than the first delivery precision;
• determine an actual delivery point of the target virtual effect based on the target delivery point and which one of the first delivery precision and the second delivery precision corresponds to the target delivery mechanism;
• determine an effect delivery quantity based on the target delivery mechanism, the effect delivery quantity being negatively correlated with the one of the first delivery precision and the second delivery precision corresponding to the target delivery mechanism;
• and
• control delivery of the target virtual effect in a virtual environment based on the target delivery mechanism, the actual delivery point, and the effect delivery quantity.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, storing instructions which when executed by a processor cause the processor to perform:

• displaying a delivery point selection interface based on a user selection of a target virtual effect received from a user of a first virtual object, the target virtual effect being configured to change an attribute value of a second virtual object within an effect range of the target virtual effect;
• determining a target delivery point of the target virtual effect based on a delivery point selection received from the user of the first virtual object via the delivery point selection interface;
• determining a target delivery mechanism is a first delivery mechanism based on a delivery distance between the target delivery point and a position of the first virtual object being less than a first distance threshold, the first delivery mechanism corresponding to a first delivery precision;
• determining the target delivery mechanism is a second delivery mechanism based on the delivery distance being greater than or equal to the first distance threshold, the second delivery mechanism corresponding to a second delivery precision lower than the first delivery precision;
• determining an actual delivery point of the target virtual effect based on the target delivery point and which one of the first delivery precision and the second delivery precision corresponds to the target delivery mechanism;
• determining an effect delivery quantity based on the target delivery mechanism, the effect delivery quantity being negatively correlated with the one of the first delivery precision and the second delivery precision corresponding to the target delivery mechanism;
• and
• controlling delivery of the target virtual effect in a virtual environment based on the target delivery mechanism, the actual delivery point, and the effect delivery quantity.
