I have a settings record that is managed in my code in the gateway scope, and I need to access some of those settings from the client scope. I don’t see an obvious way to do it, I looked at the `AbstractVisionComponent`, `GatewayConnection` and `GatewayInterface` classes/interfaces and I don’t see anything.

Any ideas?

You’ll need to add your own RPC calls to interact with the gateway.

The [scripting example](https://github.com/inductiveautomation/ignition-sdk-examples/tree/master/scripting-rpc-example) demonstrates how to use the RPC system. The focus of the example is on scripting but the important parts are providing an RPC handler in your gateway hook and using ModuleRPCFactory in the client to create an instance that you can use to invoke whatever functions you’ve defined.
