Which way would be the best way for positioning a camera in a FPS? Should i place the camera a certain distance above a cube? or should i use line pick? Any help would be great.

..you will position your camera at the begin of your level, on specific position (eg. 10,10,50) and from that moment you should simply do pressed keycheck in main loop to define your camera movement and pisition changes according to your commands with Translateentity camera,x,y,z or Positionentity camera,x,y,z ...

But when i got up stairs or ramps the camera doesn't stay at that certain distance.

Basically when you go up stairs or ramps, the entityraduis of the player will keep it at a set distance from the floor. You might want to have a look at the manual, more specifically at the "Collisions" command and "EntityType".
