Your collision mesh is not convex which is extremely important for Torque collisions. Currently the player might would collide against it (if it doesn't get stuck) but you would be unable to shoot it, drive on it (the wheels will go right through), or have the 3rd person camera correctly get stopped by it.

The shape you have there *could* be fairly well represented with 4 separate convex collision meshes.
