You are attempting to use mouselook to angle the camera around, yet you want it to point at the player. You can't have it both ways; either you point at the player, or you allow the user to rotate the camera based upon the mouse movements. The best I think you can do is to allow the player to rotate on the Y axis and have the camera follow from above and behind:



Use the W and S keys to move forward and backward. Use the mouse to rotate the 'player' and the camera around. Click any mouse button to quit.

okay, I don't get what you are trying to do. Good luck with it.

Regarding the camera collision, why not just make a sphere (the size of the collision you want), hide it and use it for collision? You would the base the camera position upon the sphere's position (which in turn, is based upon the player's position) and would move the sphere first to see if a collision occurs.

You could use Sparky's sliding collision, checking against the other objects and it should work fine.
