# GCDeviceHaptics

The locations of haptic actuators on a game controller.

## Declaration

```swift
class GCDeviceHaptics
```

## Overview

Overview Use this class to create a haptic engine with a specified locality. Any patterns you send to that engine play on the specified actuators. important: The supportsHaptics property of the engine that returns from the createEngine(withLocality:) method applies to the device, not the game controller. Use the supportedLocalities method in this class to determine whether a game controller supports haptics.
