al_get_haptic_capabilities(3alleg5)

💖 al_get_haptic_capabilities 💖

okay bestie so this one lives in the 3alleg5 manual (that's the Allegro 5 situation, iykyk) and it's literally the vibe-check function for your haptic gear. let's get into it 🎀

✨ NAME ✨

al_get_haptic_capabilities — Allegro 5 API 🦋

---

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

#include <allegro5/allegro.h>

int al_get_haptic_capabilities(ALLEGRO_HAPTIC *hap)

---

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

so what it does is it returns you an integer, right? and that integer is a bunch of values from ALLEGRO_HAPTIC_CONSTANTS(3alleg5) all OR'd together 💅

and if one of those bits is set, that means your haptic device actually supports that feature ✨ like it's telling you what your controller can do before you go asking it to do something it can't 💀

⭐ SINCE ⭐

5.1.8 — she's been here a minute, periodt 🫶

⚠️ [Unstable API]: bestie listen. this one "perhaps could be simplified due to limited support for all the exposed features across all of the platforms." and they're "awaiting feedback from users." so like, it might change on you 😭 it's giving beta energy. no cap.
