Just so you know. This will be my last topic on this glitch. There is no way to edit a post so I need to make a whole new post to change my thoughts. I'll make sure to make all my other posts with high amount of detail so that no problems of missing information will ever happen again.

Glitch description

In my .blend file when the take a camera, any camera, and parent it to any object in the game so it is a child to it. It will spin backwards and upside down when I view though it and press "P" If you are outside of the camera and look at it through the 3D view port it will track awkwardly around the middle of the view port. No other .blend file does this, I tested it myself.

The normal view of the axis is Z = up X = Left, right and Y = Foward, Back. When I parent the camera the Z axis flips upside down.

One way I found that allows me to view normally is to parent the object with a Vertex parent. But I cannot use setting I want on the camera. If I were to turn on slow parent (which I do) the glitch once again happens.

Here is my .blend file (It contains extra information) Blink.blend

Okay so two more things:

Please don't set priority on your own (especially not to "Unbreak Now!" or "High"), this is for our internal organization so better leave this to us.
Please don't open multiple tasks for the same issue, you can just add the needed information in a comment. We get tons of reports everyday, so we need to keep things organized. Such things make this quite hard.

Alright noted. I'm new here so I don't really know the rules yet.

Hi Crazycashcap

I'm not sure what settings etc. you have used but I have a feeling that the "bugs" are due to your own tampering with the .blend and the settings within the game engine.
Things you should consider doing:

use Blenderartists.com game support forum if you have a problem like this! you are much more likely to get a fix for your game.
append all the parts into a new .blend file
Hope this helps

It's okay I fixed it. It turned out to be that I forgot to apply the scale and rotation on the "Player Collision Bounds" box so when I played it was going to where it was rotated to. I just applied it and made a new camera. Works perfectly now. Thanks for the help though.
