uh! wot?

maybe some description of what you are trying to do would be nice ?

all I can say is if you want to change the view when you hit the wall then just point the camera in a random direction, something like

if object collision(wall,me) then point camera rnd(object position x(me),rnd(object position y(me)),rnd(object position z(me))

or

if object collision(wall,me) then position camera rnd(500),rnd(500),rnd(500):point camera object position x(me),object position y(me),object position z(me)

or

if object collision (wall,me) then turn camera left 180

or

if object collision (wall,me) then make camera 2..............

or

if object collision (wall,me) then set camera fov (rnd(180))

or

..........

you get the idea?, we need some idea of what you are trying to do before we can advise you, those snippets would all do what you said, but which is it you want?, or is one thats not listed?.
