SDL_HapticEffect(3type)

NAME
SDL_HapticEffect - The generic template for any haptic effect.

HEADER FILE
Defined in SDL3/SDL_haptic.h

SYNOPSIS
#include "SDL3/SDL.h"

typedef union SDL_HapticEffect
{
    /* Common for all force feedback effects */
    Uint16 type;                    /**< Effect type. */
    SDL_HapticConstant constant;    /**< Constant effect. */
    SDL_HapticPeriodic periodic;    /**< Periodic effect. */
    SDL_HapticCondition condition;  /**< Condition effect. */
    SDL_HapticRamp ramp;            /**< Ramp effect. */
    SDL_HapticLeftRight leftright;  /**< Left/Right effect. */
    SDL_HapticCustom custom;        /**< Custom effect. */
} SDL_HapticEffect;

DESCRIPTION
All values max at 32767 (0x7FFF). Signed values also can be negative. Time values unless specified otherwise are in milliseconds. You can also pass SDL_HAPTIC_INFINITY
 to length instead of a 0-32767 value. Neither delay, interval, attack_length nor fade_length support SDL_HAPTIC_INFINITY . Fade will also not be used since effect never ends. Additionally, the SDL_HAPTIC_RAMP
 effect does not support a duration of SDL_HAPTIC_INFINITY . Button triggers may not be supported on all devices, it is advised to not use them if possible. Buttons start at index 1 instead of index 0 like the joystick. If both attack_length and fade_level are 0, the envelope is not used, otherwise both values are used. Common parts: c
 // Replay - All effects have this
 Uint32 length; // Duration of effect (ms).
 Uint16 delay; // Delay before starting effect.
 // Trigger - All effects have this
 Uint16 button; // Button that triggers effect.
 Uint16 interval; // How soon before effect can be triggered again.
 // Envelope - All effects except condition effects have this
 Uint16 attack_length; // Duration of the attack (ms).
 Uint16 attack_level; // Level at the start of the attack.
 Uint16 fade_length; // Duration of the fade out (ms).
 Uint16 fade_level; // Level at the end of the fade. Here we have an example of a constant effect evolution in time:
