Recreating UTPortal from UDK in UE4 (the portal effect from Portal in UE4)

Well ok… finally figured it out by myself… It was just one little node I actually allready looked for but couldn’t find, because I did only know what it does, not what it’s named…
I will put a link to a project with a working portal (BluePrint). I’m quiet new to any game engines so I had a hard time finding all the options.

There are a few things to mention:

• This portal has the 1 frame lag which is almost not noticable when you walk but is pretty obvious if you turn the camera around
• Sometimes it won’t only teleport you once, but multiple times causing you to land somewhere completely else… I couldn’t yet figure out how to fix this problem… It seems like the actions are passing multiple times through a branch before the next node is called… (switching the variable used in the branch from true to false…)
  But at the same time it seems, that the bug is more likely to happen if you hit the portal while you also hit the wall next to it… so it could be caused by wrong collision settings… If you have any idea on how to fix this Problem feel free to tell me… I’m curious.
• Most of the time you walk through the portal there is a visual effect like a flash just in the moment when you hit it…
• I created a portal based on my needs, so it’s 2 portals in one blueprint class. If you want to only have one blueprint with one portal and wish to set the portal you will teleport in the settings of placed portals, i suggest you to watch the video mentioned… They create such portals in their videos… but their visual effect isn’t the one you are looking for, so just use their way of teleporting and my way of creating the Portaltexture
