Check failure! This is probably a bug:

ACE table: expression does not specify one return flag - did you specify more than one, or forget it entirely?

Condition: return_flags == 1

File: c:\c2\source\exporters\html5\..\..\common\ERAHelpers.h

Line: 285

Function: void __cdecl era::ACETable::AddExpression(int,int,const class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > &,const class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > &,const class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > &,const class std::basic_string<wchar_t,struct std::char_traits<wchar_t>,class std::allocator<wchar_t> > &,void (__cdecl *)(const class era::StaticResult **,int,class era::StaticEvaluation *))

For example, open editime.js from "function" plugin and change the flag line 43 the flag ef_return_number by ef_deprecated, save the file and launch C2 and see the error

Close C2 change the flag to ef_return_number, save and launch C2, no error...

you can try with other edittime.js from other plugin the result is the same official or not

Construct 2 Version ID

R230 beta

**EDIT: seems the same bug with R228/229 beta

Closing as not a bug. You must still specify the return type flag with the deprecated flag, which is what the error message is telling you. Otherwise you are saying the expression is hidden and has no return type (which affects projects that still use it).

Ashley thank you for the quick reply.

I just wonder why the error is displayed only with beta release
