All I want is for my character to be able to go inside an object as if it wasn't there, but i still want the gui to show up .onCollision?

Is this Possible?

My script is:

var showGUI: boolean; 

function OnCollisionEnter(coll: Collision) {
if(coll.gameObject.tag == "Hint")
    showGUI = true; 
} 

function OnCollisionExit(coll: Collision) { 
 if(coll.gameObject.tag == "Hint")
    showGUI = false; 
} 

function OnGUI() { 
    if (showGUI) { 
            GUI.Box (Rect (10,10,100,90), "Loader Menu");

    // Make the first button. If it is pressed, Application.Loadlevel (1) will be executed
    if (GUI.Button (Rect (20,40,80,20), "Level 1")) {
        Application.LoadLevel (1);
    }

    // Make the second button.
    if (GUI.Button (Rect (20,70,80,20), "Level 2")) {
        Application.LoadLevel (2); 
    } 
}
}

It sounds like you probably want the object your character is walking into to be a trigger rather than a collider.

Quoting the BoxCollider page of the Reference Manual

Triggers

An alternative way of using Colliders is to mark them as a Trigger, just check the IsTrigger property checkbox in the Inspector. Triggers are effectively ignored by the physics engine, and have a unique set of three trigger messages that are sent out when a collision with a Trigger occurs. Triggers are useful for triggering other events in your game, like cutscenes, automatic door opening, displaying tutorial messages, etc. Use your imagination!

Then you just use `OnTriggerEnter (other : Collider)`, etc rather than the OnCollision versions.

The thing that comes to mind first is setting the collision to be a trigger.

So instead of:

    function OnCollisionEnter(coll: Collision) {
 if(coll.gameObject.tag == "Hint") showGUI = true; }

It would be:

    function OnTriggerEnter(other: Collider) {
 if(other.gameObject.tag == "Hint") showGUI = true; }

On the gameobject that contains the collider, make just the Is Trigger box is checked.
