🎀 NAME 🎀

al_play_haptic_effect — Allegro 5 API

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

bool al_play_haptic_effect(ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID *id, int loop)

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

Plays back a haptic effect that was previously uploaded. The play_id must be a valid ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_EFFECT_ID(3) obtained from al_upload_haptic_effect(3), al_upload_and_play_haptic_effect(3), or al_rumble_haptic(3). Like, it has to be legit, no random vibes. ✨

The haptic effect will be played back loop times in sequence. If loop is less than or equal to 1, then the effect will be played once only. So loop <= 1 is giving one-and-done, periodt. 💅

This function returns immediately and doesn’t wait for the playback to finish. It returns true if the playback was started successfully or false if not. No blocking, no waiting around — it just says “started it!” and dips. 🦋

🌸 SINCE 🌸

5.1.8

⚠️ [Unstable API]: Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users.
