I ended up using UGameplayStatics::GetPlayerCameraManager instead of getting the player controller and the camera manager via that, which I guess is somewhat simpler but might be a problem if we introduce AI into the game.

I also introduced a boolean that prevents any more teleport attempts while a teleport is already in progress, but this still doesn’t prevent the destination marker being moved during the fade-out, which means you can potentially still change where you are teleporting to after starting the teleport. Hopefully this is fixed in upcoming lectures but if not, I guess it’s just a matter of recording the destination marker at the time of receiving the button press.

for preventing the destination from changing after the teleport start and befor it ends i used

FVector destination = DestMarker->GetComponentLocation();
	SetActorLocation(destination);
