## Description

A small, focused component. `Client_Fade` fades the owning player's camera over a duration in a given direction. It exists as a component on the player controller rather than as a global so it works correctly in multiplayer, where each player fades independently.

The loading system fades before a level switch; the teleport system fades as a comfort option.

## Setup

1. Enable `AFM_CameraFade`.
2. Add `BPC_PlayerController_CameraFade` to your player controller.

## Usage

Call `Client_Fade` with a duration and a direction from `E_CameraFade_Direction`. Fades are per-player, so calling it on one controller does not affect others.

## Key properties

| Property | When to change |
|---|---|
| `Duration` | Fade length; 0.5 s suits most transitions |

## Extending

Not typically extended.

## Multiplayer notes

Multiplayer

Because the component lives on the player controller, level loading can fade every player before a `servertravel` by iterating controllers on the server.

## Example map

Used implicitly by every level switch in `Map_Examples_Lobby`.

## Troubleshooting

**The fade does not happen on clients.** It was called on the server for a client's controller without using the client RPC — `Client_Fade` is already a client call, so call it directly on each controller.

### Components

**BPC_PlayerController_CameraFade**1 members

extends `ActorComponent`

Fade component for a player controller. Client Fade runs the camera fade on the owning client over a duration, or applies it in one step when the duration is zero or less. Add it to a player controller of your own; teleport, level loading and the intro all fade through it, and a controller without it stays unfaded through those transitions.
