iOS No Haptic feedback / vibration for iOS?!

[rekamemag2]

Hi all, trying to find my way through the docs implementing haptic feedback for iOS and could only find outdated (not working) market place solutions?
I'm very surprised and a bit disappointed this isn't actually supported natively in GM2 (or did I miss something)?

Is there a way of bringing haptic feedback/vibration into my game?

Thank you!

according this this app on the marketplace it supports IOS. https://marketplace.yoyogames.com/assets/697/expatchdevicevibrate
They just didn't put haptic in the search text. If you search under vibrate it is there.

The reason it isn't built into GMS 2 is a little bit of history. GMS 1.4 once used a haptic library from Immersion, but Immersion pulled the plug on it and no alternative was found in time for GMS 2's initial development. This is similar to why GMS 2's audio capabilities also leave a lot to be desired, the original vendor for GMS 1.3's audio engine also pulled the plug early and only a basic substitute was available in time for GMS 2.

curato, I downloaded and YYC compiled it successfully but when I tried on iPhone it doesn't work and the status says "0" (instead of 1). It seems outdated.

FrostyCat, that's a shame no one else has done an extension for GM2.

Thanks everyone for your reply!

Would be nice to have a solution
