VInterpTo doesn't smoothly move camera

You’re only running your tick function once because you set IsSwitchedCamera to false the first time you move the camera instead of all the time.

edit:
Adding this here after much discussion below.

The deltatime wasn’t being accumulated anywhere, so it was just always calling VInterpTo with a delta of some really small number around 0.01 so it didn’t look like it was moving.

float _accumulatorFloat; 
 
 void ATheMeadowsCharacter::SwitchCamera()
  {
      currentCameraPos = cameraTransformA;
      cameraSwitch = !cameraSwitch;
  
      if (cameraSwitch == false)
      {
          cameraTransformA.X = 20.0f;
          cameraTransformA.Y = 40.0f;
          cameraTransformA.Z = 40.0f;
      }
      else if (cameraSwitch == true)
      {
          cameraTransformA.X = 20.0f;
          cameraTransformA.Y = -40.0f;
          cameraTransformA.Z = 40.0f;
      }
      _accumulatorFloat = 0.0f;
      isSwitchedCamera = true;
  }
  
  void ATheMeadowsCharacter::Tick(float DeltaSeconds)
  {
      Super::Tick(DeltaSeconds);
  
      if (isSwitchedCamera == true)
      {
          _accumulatorFloat += DeltaSeconds;
          FVector finalCamPos = FMath::VInterpTo(currentCameraPos, cameraTransformA, _accumulatorFloat , 0.5f);
          FollowCamera->SetRelativeLocation(finalCamPos);
          isSwitchedCamera = false;
      }
  }
