Space Guy:
Look up the Torque Game Engine "PathCamera" object and tutorials for it, it might help.

Although I don't see how it would lag it up, it would just show text on your screen and an item spinning above your head. How could you spam it?

I can just imagine it c:
Excalibur got a HK417! *music* Excalibur got a Light MG! *music*
Spammed easily, and if you put too much effects on it, you could lag a server up so badly...

You could do this by creating a variable for
every
item
in
the
game
then checking it.
OR
Make it create a variable for each item when picked up. You'd have to be careful with this, though, as too many variables active at the same time can lag a server.
Then, as for the camera, you could spawn an image of the item above the player's headskin, then make the camera focus on it, though this could be a problem. As for rotating, look for the item rotating script.

I still stand by my idea, which is probably how they did it in the game: A GUI overlays the screen with a 3D view of an object.

Maybe that would cause less lag. Or if any, on the client, not the server.
