Free Flying Camera with Collider (FlyCam Extended)

I need help with this script I got from: http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/FlyCam_Extended

The script is perfect for what I need, but the only problem is that it goes through meshes that have colliders on them. Can any of you guys figure out a way for it to stop moving when hitting an object with colliders on it?

I tried the following methods, and neither of them stopped the camera:

1) I put the script on a capsule with a collider and then put an object follow script on the camera. It went through objects.

2) I put a collider on the camera itself.... it still went through objects with colliders.

Any suggestions?

Also, the camera is facing away when I start the scene. Any way to keep the camera facing the direction I have it set wit this script?

Here is the FlyCam Extended C# script:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class ExtendedFlycam : MonoBehaviour
{

else
{
transform.position += transform.forward * normalMoveSpeed * Input.GetAxis("Vertical") * Time.deltaTime;
transform.position += transform.right * normalMoveSpeed * Input.GetAxis("Horizontal") * Time.deltaTime;
}


if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.Q)) {transform.position += transform.up * climbSpeed * Time.deltaTime;}
if (Input.GetKey (KeyCode.E)) {transform.position -= transform.up * climbSpeed * Time.deltaTime;}

if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.End))
{
Screen.lockCursor = (Screen.lockCursor == false) ? true : false;
}
}
}

 

First of all, please format your code.

transform.Translate() or directly modifying transform.position ignores the physics engine. If you want collisions, you could, for example, use a RigidBody to move the camera.

 

Thank you for your answer Piflik. Your solution worked... to an extent. I applied the Rigidbody component to the camera and now I don't go past the floor plane. But when I bump into any object with colliders on it I bonce off of them and keep gliding the opposite direction, without a way to stop it. Is there any way to stop this behavior?
