al_get_haptic_autocenter(3alleg5)

💖 al_get_haptic_autocenter — Allegro 5 API 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the Allegro 5 API corner of the universe, this one is al_get_haptic_autocenter, and it's genuinely such a vibe 🎀

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

double al_get_haptic_autocenter(ALLEGRO_HAPTIC *hap)

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So, this function returns the current automatic centering intensity of the device. That's the whole girlboss job. 💅

Depending on the device, automatic centering may ensure that the axes of the device are centered again automatically after playing a haptic effect. Like, it recenters itself, unprompted, iconic behaviour honestly. 🦋

The return value can be between 0.0 and 1.0. Let's break that down because the numbers matter, no cap:

• 0.0 means automatic centering is disabled 🙈
• 1.0 means automatic centering is enabled at full strength 🔥
• Any value in between those two extremes means partial automatic centering is enabled ✨

⚠️ some platforms do NOT support partial automatic centering, and that's just how it is, not every device is on that level. If that's the case, a value of less than 0.5 means it is turned off, while a value equal to or higher to 0.5 means it is turned on.

and now the important little catch — this can only work if al_get_haptic_capabilities(3alleg5) returns a value that has ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_AUTOCENTER(3alleg5)ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS(3alleg5) set. If not, this function returns 0.0. so like, if the device doesn't have the goods, you get a 0.0 and that's that, fr fr. 😭

💀 [Unstable API]: Perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms. Awaiting feedback from users. — so like, this one is still in its era of figuring itself out, be gentle with it 🫶
