writeLvar problem

[Seb17]

Hello.
I am using registered FSCUIP 7 with MSFS. I have a problem that I cannot resolve with LUA:
This works well : CSTR on !

I have cstr.lua

ipc.writeLvar("H:A320_Neo_MFD_BTN_CSTR_1", 1)

And CSTR does not turn on...

Any idea please ?

Thx

Auto answer :
ipc.activateHvar("H:A320_Neo_MFD_BTN_CSTR_1")
works fine

That is using a MobiFlight event.

But here you are trying to write a Hvar as an lvar...

Yes, you need to use ipc.activateHvar for hvars. Not that hvars to  not have an associated value - you just trigger or activate them.
