Moving a character using GUI instead of WSAD / Controller script

Unity Engine

Is it possible to move and rotate the camera attached to a body using the GUI?

 void OnGUI()
    {
        if(GUI.RepeatButton (new Rect(400,400,30,30),"^"))
        {
            transform.Translate ( Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * MovementSpeed, transform );
        }
        if ( GUI.RepeatButton ( new Rect ( 430, 430, 30, 30 ), ">" ) )
        {
            transform.Rotate ( Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * CameraRotateSpeed );
        }
        if ( GUI.RepeatButton ( new Rect ( 370, 430, 30, 30 ), "<" ) )
        {
            transform.Rotate ( -1 * Vector3.up * Time.deltaTime * CameraRotateSpeed );
        }
        if ( GUI.RepeatButton ( new Rect ( 400, 460, 30, 30 ), "|" ) )
        {
            transform.Translate ( -1 * Vector3.forward * Time.deltaTime * MovementSpeed, transform );
        }
    }

This works properly. But the trouble is that the object passes through walls with Colliders. Is it possible to convert a GUI action into a Input.getAxis() so that I can use it directly in Character Controller?
I want to disable the Keyboard and Mouse Input for moving and rotating the object and Instead just make it move using the GUI buttons.
Any help is appreciated.

It’s going through colliders because you’re using non-physical movement. Use CharacterController.Move() or CharacterController.SimpleMove() instead of transform.Translate().

\Thanks for the info. I seem to have skipped the CharacterController part. Will try testing it over the weekend and post the update.
