Detailed Description

The generic template for any haptic effect.

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:

* // 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:

   Strength

   |    effect level -->  _________________
   |                     /                 \
   |                    /                   \
   |                   /                     \
   |                  /                       \
   | attack_level --> |                        \
   |                  |                        |  <---  fade_level
   |
   +--------------------------------------------------> Time
                      [--]                 [---]
                      attack_length        fade_length

   [------------------][-----------------------]
   delay               length

Note either the attack_level or the fade_level may be above the actual effect level.
