With this function you can set the vibration of the gamepad motors, with either motor using a value from 0 (no vibration) to 1 (full vibration). Note that there is no time limit on this function, so you will need to use a variable or an alarm to switch off the vibration (set motors to 0) after a given time has passed, otherwise the gamepad will continue to vibrate indefinitely.
NOTE This function is currently only available for the standard Windows, PS4 and Xbox One target modules.
gamepad_set_vibration(device, left_motor, right_motor);
| Argument | Type | Description |

| device | Real | Which gamepad device "slot" to check. |

if (lives == 0)
{
gamepad_set_vibration(0, 1, 1);
alarm[0] = game_get_speed(gamespeed_fps) / 2;
}
The above code would be used (for example) in a collision event to make the gamepad plugged into "slot" 0 vibrate for half a second, with the alarm that is set being used to switch it off again once that time has passed.
