I'm currently trying to do something in a first-person view point, using the standard WASD for forward back and strafe left and right and using the mouse for "looking". Now the only problem i have encountered now is moving through solid objects... i'm not sure how to make the camera "collide" with the objects to stop it moving through them, it's probably something blindingly obvious but i just can't seem to figure it out, any help is much appreciated.
Ta.

Attaching the camera to a sphere and toggle collision on the sphere is a good way to make "camera collision".
Putting the camera above the sphere will make the camera stay higher.

Though remember to hide the sphere or else it will be visible when looking down, and that is kinda unprofessional.

I have no code examples though, I don't know how to code it either. This is a way to make camera collision I saw in Silent Shade.
