Public Functions Documentation

function ScanDevices

ESkineticError ScanDevices()

Return: Error code.

Initialize a scanning routine to find all available Skinetic device with the connection type specified in the asset. ScanStatus() return the status of the scan, and the result can be accessed using GetScannedDevices().

function ScanStatus

int ScanStatus(
ESkineticError & Error
)

Parameters:

  • Error contains the corresponding error in case of failure.

Return: the current status or -1 on failure.

Check the status of the asynchronous scanning routine. The method returns:

  • 1 if the scan is ongoing.
  • 0 if the scan is completed.
  • -1 if the connection failed. The asynchronous scan routine is terminated on failure. Once the scan is completed, the result can be obtain by calling GetScannedDevices().

function GetScannedDevices

TArray< FDeviceInfo > GetScannedDevices()

Return: a list of DeviceInfo, empty if no match or an error occurs.

This function returns a list of all FDeviceInfo of each Skinetic devices found during the scan which match the specified output type.

function Connect

ESkineticError Connect()

Return: NoError on success, corresponding Error code otherwise.

Initialize connection to the first found Skinetic Device using the selected type of connection. Connection status is available using ConnectionStatus() or the corresponding callback function.

function ConnectToSpecificDevice

ESkineticError ConnectToSpecificDevice(
int64 SerialNumber
)

Parameters:

  • SerialNumber Serial number of the device to connect to. If set to 0, the connection will be performed on the first found device.

Return: NoError on success, corresponding Error code otherwise.

Initialize connection to a Skinetic Device using the selected type of connection and the Serial Number specified. Connection status is available using ConnectionStatus() or the corresponding callback function.

function Disconnect

ESkineticError Disconnect()

Return: NoError on success, corresponding Error code otherwise.

Disconnect the current Skinetic device.

function ConnectionStatus

EConnectionStatus ConnectionStatus()

Return: the current status of connection

Check the status of the asynchronous connection routine. The asynchronous connection routine is terminated on failure.

function GetSDKVersion

FString GetSDKVersion()

Return: the version string.

Get SDK version as a string. The format of the string is: major.minor.revision

function GetDeviceVersion

FString GetDeviceVersion()

Return: the version string if Skinetic is connected, an ERROR message otherwise.

Get the connected device's version as a string. The format of the string is: major.minor.revision

function GetDeviceSerialNumber

int64 GetDeviceSerialNumber(
ESkineticError & Error
)

Parameters:

  • Error contains the corresponding error in case of failure.

Return: the serial number if a Skinetic device is connected, -1 otherwise.

Get the connected device's serial number.

function GetDeviceType

ESkineticType GetDeviceType()

Return: the type of the connected Skinetic device if it is connected, Unknown otherwise.

Get the connected device's type.

function GetGlobalIntensityBoost

int GetGlobalIntensityBoost(
ESkineticError & Error
)

Parameters:

  • Error contains the corresponding error in case of failure.

Return: the percentage of effect's intensity boost, an ERROR otherwise.

Get the amount of effect's intensity boost. The boost increase the overall intensity of all haptic effects. However, the higher the boost activation is, the more the haptic effects are degraded.

function SetGlobalIntensityBoost

ESkineticError SetGlobalIntensityBoost(
int BoostPercent
)

Parameters:

  • BoostPercent percentage of the boost.

Return: NoError on success, corresponding Error code otherwise.

Set the amount of effect's intensity boost. The boost increase the overall intensity of all haptic effects. However, the higher the boost activation is, the more the haptic effects are degraded.

function EffectState

EEffectState EffectState(
int EffectID
)

Parameters:

  • EffectID index identifying the effect.

Return: the current state of the effect.

Get the current state of an effect. If the EffectID is invalid, the 'stop' state will be return.

function StopAll

ESkineticError StopAll()

Return: NoError on success, an ERROR otherwise.

Stop all playing haptic effect.

function PauseAll

ESkineticError PauseAll()

Return: NoError on success, an ERROR otherwise.

Pause all haptic effect that are currently playing.

function ResumeAll

ESkineticError ResumeAll()

Return: 0 on success, an ERROR otherwise.

Resume the paused haptic effects.

function SetPreferredOutput

void SetPreferredOutput(
EOutputType NewOutputType
)

Parameters:

  • NewOutputType method of connection to use

Set the preferred output type on the current device.
