  If the script isn't anything to do with the Construct engine, you should just be able to paste it in to a script file by itself. Try it and see if it works.

  I'd point out the limit for the free edition is up to 50 events (providing you sign up), which is double the 25 mentioned in the original post. Our numbers show this covers a surprisingly large number of users. So maybe it's fine to recommend it anyway?

  With Construct 2 people would make virtually identical arguments arguing the free editions should be still higher. I think whatever limit we set, naturally people will say they should have more.

  Increase the number of events to at least 500 (or maybe even 1000?)

  We actually have numbers on how many events people tend to use. I checked the numbers, and this would categorically ruin the company.

  Thanks, well spotted. Fixed for next release. I checked and that's been there since 2013, so I'm sceptical it has had any meaningful impact on anything.

  You could just use the scripting feature and paste the script in to a script file.

  Yes, press F12 and see if there are any errors in the browser console.

  It could be a sporadic issue with your Internet connection or the Google Drive servers, but it's hard to tell without more information.

  It sounds like you're talking about this issue. There are details there.

  C3 works pretty similarly to C2 in most cases, so I don't think there's much of a need to have a guide on what's different. You can however find everything new in C3 over C2 here, which includes links to relevant blog posts and manual entries. There's also two relevant guides on the manual on importing C2 projects and the C3 runtime, although most changes are pretty minor.

  If you are not a recognized educational institution, typically involving a classroom with teachers and students, you cannot purchase an educational license.

  Educational licenses are only permitted to be purchased by educational institutions. If you are using Construct for yourself, you must purchase a personal plan.

  HTML5 exports cannot be run from disk. The error is there for a reason.

  Either upload a HTML5 export to the web, use the NW.js desktop exporter, or for testing preview inside Construct.

  It sounds a lot like something changed that allows direct LAN connections when previously it was transferring via the Internet. I read a while back about changes to WebRTC to use mDNS to establish local connections in a privacy-preserving way (without exposing your local IP). Maybe it's something to do with that.

  See the section on pausing in the tutorial delta-time and framerate independence.

  You can search for or post feature requests here: https://construct3.ideas.aha.io/

  In general, we're a small team and people have made hundreds of feature requests, representing years of work. Naturally lots of users are arguing that various features are essential, and so we constantly have to make tough decisions about priorities. Part of the reason we support third-party addons is so you don't have to wait for us to get round to it. If there are third-party features that cover what you need, then do take advantage of them.

  I suppose we will have to investigate NW.js bug reports if people rely on it for features like NW.js debugging. However if there isn't much NW.js specific code, hopefully those cases will be rare.
