How to: Activate the Gamepad Impulse Triggers

To generate vibration effects, activate the impulse triggers, as follows. See also Gamepad Vibration Overview.

To activate the impulse triggers

Use Gamepad.Gamepads to get all connected gamepads.

C++
```
auto gamepads = Gamepad::Gamepads;  
```

Retrieve the desired gamepad from the returned gamepads.

C++

// For simplicity, we assume there is only one connected Xbox One Controller.
// Otherwise, check if the gamepads vector size is > 0 first, by using this: if (gamepads->Size > 0)
IGamepad^ gamepad0 = gamepads->GetAt(0);
IGamepadReading^ reading = gamepad0->GetCurrentReading();

Use SetVibration to activate the impulse triggers.

C++

auto vibration;
      
// Valid range for all properties are 0.0f - 1.0f
vibration.LeftTriggerLevel  = 0.5f; 
vibration.RightTriggerLevel = 0.5f;
vibration.LeftMotorLevel    = 0.0f;
vibration.RightMotorLevel   = 0.0f;
      
gamepad0->SetVibration(vibration);
