@ Walaber, I'm using your FPS as an example to work from. I'd love to chat to you about it. Infact, I'll put my physics code below, if you have the time, any chance you could browse over it and see if you can see anything drastically wrong? If not, don't worry, just trying to save the wall from my head.

problem is, the crates fall through the floor so I cant even get to them in time to test player-crate interaction. If anyone else has any ideas, do let me know.
@ Vash, you have an interesting idea there mate, I don't quite know how to set it up. A quick intersection would tell me if the object is obscured, but if the object is larger than the object obscuring it then it would look very odd indeed. But there's food for thought there, and we'll have to chat more about it online
