  The Array plugin internally maintains a 3D array at all times, even if it's only used 1-dimensionally. This means it's neither much use to expose it directly (since few libraries expect a 3D array), nor is it convenient for calling code to have to worry about maintaining the right structure of the array. So it exposes several accessor methods that allow you complete control over the array but guarantee you can't mess up the structure. So just use these to flatten to a 1D array or whatever else you want to do.

  The Array plugin ID is "Arr" not "Array".

  You can compare the number and types of arguments and vary the expression depending on that. It's only a simple flag to say "unlimited extra arguments are allowed at the end". There aren't any options to finer control it, because nothing else in all of Construct needs it. Generally a variadic parameter is useful for math functions e.g. allowing the max expression to take any number of arguments and return the maximum of all of them. If your expression isn't doing something like that - maybe you should just have two expressions?

  Are there any errors in the browser console?

  If all else fails you can clear the browser storage and reload the page - it will wipe all installed addons, and any projects saved to browser storage as well, so be warned.

  I've updated the download links in the original post with a new version that should work around the issue with Cloud Save not working in the update. Can anyone confirm it solves the problem?

  It's all documented in the Editor API reference.

  Are you using "Request fullscreen (centered)"? This bug was fixed:

  Browser: Request fullscreen 'Centered' incorrectly did 'Letterbox scale'

  Change it to request fullscreen letterbox scale and it'll work the same again.

  When C3 imports a C2 project, it guesses the property IDs by transforming the property name. The easiest thing to do is choose IDs in C3 that match the ones it guesses. I think it will guess "script-files". If for any reason you can't do that or you need to change the type of data it imports, here's an example from Tiled Background that converts an "initial visibility" property to a boolean with the new ID "initially-visible":

  LoadC2Property(name, valueString)
  {
  	switch (name) {
  	case "initial-visibility":		// renamed, and map Visible/Invisible string to boolean
  		this._inst.SetPropertyValue("initially-visible", (valueString !== "Invisible"));
  		return true;
  	}
  }

  Apologies for the inconvenience everyone, but the build service should be working again now. A few people have confirmed it works for them now.

  That makes no sense: it only causes audio to load at a different time, and has no effect on the engine suspending the audio engine when going to sleep. The "Play in background" setting is the only thing that affects that.

  As we have said previously, we will not be implementing any more new features for C2.

  Well, the easiest way is just to make a global variable... to keep it neat use a namespace object like window.MyPluginData = {}; MyPluginData.foo = "bar"; etc.

  This is where we would need to write and document public APIs for addons to use.
