Is it possible for a colliding object to "push" the view?

[Vmichaeljin]

Hi,

I'm trying to design an object that collides with the view and pushes it in the direction of the object's travel. Is there any way to get collision detection to do this for me?

Another related question is whether there is any way to "link" the movement of the view with the movement of a moving object. For instance, consider a traveling platform. If the view collides with the platform (as in, the viewer jumps onto the platform), I want then to link the view to the platform, so that if the view was not disturbed by the user, it would travel along with the platform. However, it should still be possible to move around on the platform if the user desires. What would be the easiest implementation strategy for this?
