Hi, you're welcome.

I can't answer your question about "Does Scirra no longer support this plugin that is part of Construct 2?", maybe this post can answer your question:

https://www.construct.net/en/blogs/construct-official-blog-1/launching-the-new-construct-3-runtime-1048

Scroll down until you find heading "THE FUTURE'.

Here your answer, https://github.com/dpa99c/cordova-custom-config#do-i-need-it

Alternative method you can try youtu.be/xHjw3McA4z4 hopefully can help.

You can use cordova-plugin-ringtone to set an audio file as ringtone, notification tone or alarm tone.

Call the plugin JS function https://github.com/Hiraqui/cordova-plugin-ringtone#example-3 using browser object.

If your Android target SDK 22+ then you need cordova-diagnostic-plugin to prompt app permission before using this plugin. For how to implement this plugin in Construct 2 you can watch video tutorial https://youtu.be/aHbY7BkF8Pg

So is Construct 3 still HTML/Javascript Based. Someone had said it outputs in the different game engines language. Like native android and ios and windows, and you don't need plugins and phonegap or cocoon.io(dead) or apk signing or all those little nonsense tools. Which at one point I thought I was pretty awesome because I learned to use all those things. I have one app on Windows Store and 6 on Google play. I mean me IRL I don't know anybody that has ever published any app anywhere.

My question Is Construct 3 really Magic like they say?

honestly.

Construct 3 is more than Magic I think,based on my experience using C2 and C3.

C2 is powerful enough for creating 2D games but C3 is more than powerful for creating 2D games. Also the dev is very active and we have great community here. I am one of the happy customers using C2 and C3. :)

Create one variable, example variable counter

Event 1: Object on collisions with X -> every 1 second add to counter 1

Event 2: Counter => 5 then destroy object and set counter to 0

Note: Also you can use instance variable for the object.

You can create a group and put events inside that group, when you need to disable events just set the group disable or set group enable again when needed.

Example 1 :

|Group A

|-Events 1

|--Events 2

Player when collisions with X then set Group A Disable

else

Set Group A enable

Example 2 :

|Group A

|-Events 1

|--Events 2

Player collisions with X then set Group A Disable

Player collisions with Z then set Group A Enable

chmod your file game executable, because on linux run executable need permission. Execute permission type on terminal:

only for current user permission

chmod u+x your_game_executable

for all user permission

chmod a+x your_game_executable
