Hit confirmation effects in long-range combat games

Abstract

A prop special effect display method includes controlling a first virtual object in a virtual scene to launch a projectile associated with a virtual prop in response to receiving a launching operation for the virtual prop. The method further includes, in response to the projectile hitting a target object in the virtual scene, determining a scaling ratio of a special effect of the virtual prop based on a distance between the first virtual object and the target object. The scaling ratio of the special effect is positively correlated with the distance, and the special effect includes at least one of a video or audio output and the scaling ratio comprises a display size or a volume. The method further includes playing the special effect of the virtual prop based on the scaling ratio of the special effect.
