I’ using 4.12.5 . I can’t really update due to using plugins that don’t have updated versions. Annoying!
Are there some features that behave differently in your content if not on 4.14?

My original questions in case you forgot:
So a couple of little things:
1> The edge-highlighting doesn’t work for me, regardless of if I put it on my camera post process or the global one?
2> When I drop an object, it does drop it but not in the way I’ve seen on your videos. It quite often disappears and I’m assuming going under the world. Are there controls for me to play with like an offset or location for ‘spawning’ the dropped item etc so I could manually tweak my way around it?
3> I followed your FPS tutorial and all went well, however there are times that the mouse cursor disappears and I have to left click to make it appear. I seems to happen once I’ve looted a container and I open another. the mouse cursor disappears, my movement is locked out correctly but I can;'t see the cursor until I left click anywhere on screen and the cursor appears again.

I apologize for missing your questions earlier.

1.) Custom Depth Outline - It looks like you may need to enable custom depth in your rendering options for your project. If you look at this guide you will see all the setup steps. This should get it working

Custom Depth in Unreal Engine

2.) Item Drop Position - The drop logic for non physics mode is pretty basic. It just gets a location randomly offset from the player and drops it at their feet. You will probably want to change it if you are using hilly terrain and such to do a raycast and then plug in that location to the LocalLocation variable. You can edit the Drop position logic in the InventoryManagerComponent->RandomizeDropLocation() function.

3.) Looting Container Mouse Bug - This is caused by a bug introduced in 4.12 where the UI OnHovered states don’t clear any more when the widget is hidden. This still hasn’t been fixed as of version 4.14 and there is a bug report for it.
To fix it you just need to disable the custom logic in the demo for IsMouseOverUI in your Player Controller. Simply Edit the Right Mouse Button Input Event and remove the IsMouseOverUI Branch.
