this was added in a recent beta, it's on the browser object
This makes stuff that resets on the next top level event (picking of newly created instances, wait for previous) a bit of a pain. But I'd have to test to properly confirm.
Afaik a group is just an event with a boolean check if the group is active, but disguised by the different UI.
So yes everything under a group is basically a sub-event.
We also have the Construct Community Collective where addons can be crowdfunded. A few ones like The FMOD addon, the open sourcing of 3dObject etc. have been funded that way.
On the Construct Community Discord there are a bunch of addon devs and we have an offer channel.
But you can probably make an offer here on the forums as well.
As someone that uses a mix of scripts and events in all projects, an overhaul of the c3 scripts editor would be amazing, as I don't like switching to an IDE. The auto completion c3 gives is not really helpful in its current form and could be be much better if it had type hints. Also auto formatting as I suggested here https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-feature-requests/issues/80 would go great with this.
this is an issue specific to 0.93, I reported it here: https://github.com/Scirra/Construct-bugs/issues/8309
and a fix is already done but will take some time to be deployed
this is the explanation from the person that made the original nvpatch:

Skymens tool is afaik just a ui wrapper for it, so it's easier to use.
you unpack, run the updater, remove it, zip it again and then distribute
Btw I also have been using space separated string tags for my own systems and so I did some performance measurements of different approaches of the tag comparison.
Here I am comparing Array (includes) vs Set (isSubsetOf). Array is hugely faster, I tried with different tags amounts etc, still array seems to be consistently 3 times faster:

This may be interesting to consider for Diego and Ashley, as afaik currently Sets tend to be used for tags. Though this is a simplistic test, maybe for other reasons sets are benefitial and faster.
Develop games in your browser. Powerful, performant & highly capable.
Having multiple tags for timers would be useful, but one downside is that checking tags vs tags is heavier than just a string comparison. But if perf impact is minimal or a fast early out if only one tag is used is possible I am in favor of it.
You could do a loop with 18 repeats and increment it yourself with a local variable (or multiply the loopindex by 20)
