In Java, there is a setRunWhileDisabled method, that you can call in the constructor of the command. You also need to call the scheduler in the disabledPeriodic. I assume it's similar in C++.

Ah. Probably. I was running the scheduler, but didnt know about the setRunWhileDisabled option. I'll check it out tonight.

Thanks

Yup, in C++ it works like this:

	virtual void RobotInit() {
		CommandBase::init();
		lw = LiveWindow::GetInstance();
		
                RandomCommand->SetRunWhenDisabled(true);
	}
        .
        .
        .
	virtual void DisabledPeriodic() {
		RandomCommand->Run();
		Scheduler::GetInstance()->Run();
	}
