I been trying find a way to show a GUI when The player collides with a object.
My problem is I would try

I would try PlayerListGUI.toggle() Which is one of the GUI's found in the fps.starter kit.
and I would put that i the collision function.

But that didnt work.

Canvas.PushDialog()

If collisions are detected on the server, and GUI runs on the client, then perhaps the server should tell the client to open the GUI. If the server script does a Canvas.PushDialog, then the expected result would only happen on a client running the server. Not on a remote client.

Correct.

@Matthew: For that case, you can have the server issue a commandToClient() function which can contain code to push the dialog to the appropriate client. I think this is what you were getting at with your post in any event :)
