I havnt done an inventory in unreal but i did in unity. Item stacking is just merely an optical illusion. You add a variable and display it underneath the item icon this is representing the item amount . Then to stack items its just manipulating the variable .

Eg health potion . Amount variable is equal to 1 , you pick up another health potion then you change the health variable to 2 to give the impression that you have picked it up

If you are doing it like item/splitting/ stacking by dragging in the actual invemtry rather than when you pick it up.you simply destroy one icon and increase the variable

Hello there,  
Like you I used this inventory system at first making improvements as i went along. After getting further into my game making i relized that the inventory system shown is very limited and very taxing on system. So I searched and found this [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ot5udsHFVw](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Ot5udsHFVw) Its a series that shows a much better way to make an inventory system and with a little work you can improve on his methods as well. Hope this helps as it did me 🙂
