Assigned Lua Script to GoFlight Control doesn't work

dmeerpa

I created an event to launch BetterPushBack so that I can map it to a button.
The event launches a LUA script

Event Name="LUA_call_push_back.lua" ID="141" Backgnd="False"
    Task ID="0" Type="RunLUA" FileName="C:\Users\pauld\Documents\GoFlight Interface Tool\LUA\call_push_back.lua" /
/Event

I removed the <> in the code otherwise it's not visible in the forum post

The lua script has 1 single line
command_once("BetterPushback/start")

I can map the event to a button, but when I push it nothing happens.
If I move the LUA file to the scripts folder from FlyWithLua, betterpushback opens as soon as the lua script is loaded.

Any idea why this doesn't work ?

I think command_once must be a flywithlua specific function, as I don't recognise it.

if "BetterPushback/start" is an X-Plane command, use sendcmd("BetterPushback/start") instead. See https://www.pollypotsoftware.org.uk/support/user-guide/goflight-interface-tool-x-plane/44-lua/139-lua-goflight-interface-tool-extensions-functions.html
