[SOLVED] Android - Vibrate Phone on touch hold.

Hi.

I have a game where the player has to press and hold the screen.
What I want is to vibrate the phone as long as player is touch holding the screen. Is this possible?

Currently, phone vibrates for 1 sec.

Thanks for any help in advance.

 

I've never played with the vibrate feature on a phone, but it's possible it may be limited to avoid abuse. Continued vibrate could be a battery drainer, so you might only be able to trigger it every so often.

Or, you may have to make the call repeatedly in a coroutine or update while the screen is touched.

But I would still caution only triggering it every so often.

 

When I am using Update, it resets the vibrator to start of every frame.

Sorry, I am script noob.

OK I solved this. Credits to ruzrobert.

1. First get this script: https://gist.github.com/ruzrobert/d98220a3b7f71ccc90403e041967c46b
2. Then make sure to add the namespace on top of the script. That is "using RDG"
3. Here is simple Update Script that vibrates phone on touch and hold.

Code (CSharp):

1. private void Update()
2. {
3.     if (Input.GetMouseButton(0))
4.     {
5.         Vibration.Vibrate(10000, -1, false);
6.     }
7.     else if (Input.GetMouseButtonUp(0))
8.     {
9.         Vibration.Cancel();
10.     }
11. }

But as Brathnann said, continues vibration should be avoided.
