  I'm still not clear what you're after. Do you want a plugin that integrates with messaging? Is there a service similar to Instant Games that you want to publish to? Is it "mobile apps" or "mini programs"? It looks like a huge platform and I have no idea where to start.

  What are you doing in those events? Sometimes you can eliminate the redundancy by using what you're passing as Enemy_type in an expression. For example you could look up a dictionary key, create an object by name, etc...

  I'd rather not add this feature if at all possible, since it negates literally all the benefits of the new functions feature.

  Use the Addon SDK.

  Is there any English documentation available? It's hard to even work out if it's possible without that.

  You probably did something wrong when creating the key. I'd suggest starting over and following the instructions carefully.

  It should work. Again, I can only assume your events are wrong. Providing a project is the quickest way to solve problems.

  It's impossible to get all the benefits of functions if you can call them by name, since it can't display the correct parameters and validate them. Instead you can pass the dynamic part of the function name as a parameter instead.

  It sounds like this issue, which is likely a configuration issue with Android.

  When you publish mobile apps generally you have to configure them to whitelist any kind of external network connections at all, otherwise it will all be blocked by default. I'm not sure what URLs you'd need to allow to permit YouTube video playback, it depends on their service.

  The same API (c3_callFunction()) also calls built-in functions.

  In expressions you can use Self, but I can't see how a similar concept could apply to actions, since conditions can pick from multiple objects.

  By design, Sprites all share the same textures. To show different images you'll need to load different images in to different animation frames.

  You're loading an iframe in an iframe, which is a redundant level of indirection and could be breaking things. Just point the iframe URL at the iframe src.
