Shift=ShiftKey()
If Space=0
Control Camera using arrowkeys 1, 10, 3

**** INDENT **** Things will get messy if you don't start indenting now.

You don't have a sync command.

As far as the collisions, there are plenty of ways to do collisions in DBP. Just do a search in the help and you will find the right commands. It seems your game will be a first-person view, so that's going to be easy for you to do collisions. If I remember correctly there are commands specifically for camera collisions (or I may be still feeling the after affects of last night)..... Seek and ye shall find.

If you don't find, let us know and I'm sure we will help.

The fastest code is the code never written.

ok,
step by step,
you wiil have to use either math (getting the distance between the camera and objects) or the built in collision.
the first step is to get the current camera x,y,z positions and store them to variables. after this is you can place the camera in its new position and check for possible collision. If collision returns true , you then reposition the camera back to its original position using the stored variables. in the example code I'm storing only the x and z positions because the y remains constant and I am using object # 23 to test for collision (you can add the code to make the object number of your choice)

I think you can take it from here.

Take a look at Sparky's collision system here:
http://forum.thegamecreators.com/?m=forum_view&t=74762&b=5

It comes with demos and is the best plugin for collision I've found here...

You might as well just use the automatic camera collision and set it to sliding.

tom do you happen to have some quick sample code you can add to the thread. I'm sure there are a lot of ways to do this and perhaps some ways would be better in certain situations than others.
