commandToServer, pass the cam pos and forward vector and let the server do the ray cast, and return the object's name,

Or you could try and do the cast locally, and try to resolve the ghosted ID of the object through the NetConnection object, check the documentation on how to do this. (woot, there is documentation!)

You need a small source code change to do the raycast directly in the client, though, since the containerRayCast() function only tests server-side objects.
