Re: A button to run a lua script

1. Create a text file in your Ecco directory called luacmd.lua

2. Add a script to it. For example:
function test()
msgbox("Test")
end

3. In Ecco, create a new Launchable tool. Call it whatever you want,
and for the command enter: LUAscript:test() (everything else default)

4. Execute the new Tool from the menu.

5. Left-click Drag the new button (upper right corner) to a location
on your menu

6. Click the new button to execute the same script at any time.
