not sure why C3 stop supporting SDKV1
it's better support C2 stuff also
anyway the SDK v2 version of CB Hash is here

let me know if theres any bug(havent test it yet)

CornedBeef Hash
CB Hash is a plugin for Construct 2 allowing the user to hash a string and some other parameters, depending on the function, using MD5, javascript implementations of SHA-1 or SHA-256 algorithm.
* What do the algorithms do ?
Basicly it takes a string that you'll give it as parameter and after a bit of computation will return it under an hashed form.
Ex: "Salut à vous" (hello you) returns "807a56a1e5736f1b9fe533dfcb06ebfd"
The serie of numbers and letters is a hash. A MD5 hash in hexadecimal output.
Depending on the algorithm and the function, the returned hash will be different in length, use of characters
- It can be used to compare large amounts of data. You create the hashes for the data, store the hashes and later if you want to compare the data, you just compare the hashes. (known as MD5 checksum)
- Hashes can be used to index data. They can be used in hash tables to point to the correct row. If you want to quickly find a record, you calculate the hash of the data and directly go to the record where the corresponding hash record is pointing to. (This assumes that you have a sorted list of hashes that point to the actual records)
- They can be used in cryptographic applications like digital signatures. (That was my main purpose when developping the plugin)
