I have been working on my simple portal gun project, and I need to teleport my character from A to B, but it only teleport my character from A to A, and other objects are ok. What’s wrong with it…

Probably the cast to FirstPersonCharacter fails every time.

hey @coldsolarknight

Its a rather strange do once loop for an event, is that really needed?

Anyway not really what you asked. As @Yaklakootmaa2 stated its most likely the cast failed.

Maybe put a print node on the Cast Failed Pin to test the theory.

BUT! That said do you need the cast at all? Can you not just Set Actor Location?  
Without casting? as the input node on the event does say “Other Actor” after all!

Hope this helps
