ahmm, the sphere control…

Make an sphere and put the material that you want. Then you need to setup the postprocess volume using the outline material. You have that outline material at the end of the tutorial.
Outline effect (Part 1) – Parallelcube

To see the outline in an sphere you need to use Set Render Custom Depth node with that object sphere to enable the Custom Depth at runtime. The custom Stencil value determines the type of outline material, in the first tutorial we have only one type, but in the second we use this value to select the color of the outline.

You have a basic Sample project here: GitHub - Parallelcube/UE4_T-Outline: UE4 Tutorial Color outline effect

Hi

I have make a small project to show you how to use Set Render Custom Depth node to enable/disable the outline effect

I’m using the Outline Only material, so the Stencil Value is irrelevant only need to be greater than 0 for the spheres.
You can see the swith logic inside the Sphereswitch actor blueprint

All the steps are in the tutorial Outline effect (Part 1) – Parallelcube

• Copy the M_Outline_Only material to your project and make a Material Instance
• Enable custom depth rendering Window > Project Settings > Rendering > Post Process > Custom Depth-stencil Pass and set it to Enabled with Stencil.
• Put a Post procress volume with Infinite Extend enabled and the** Material instance of the outline material** in** Post Process Materials
• **Put a custom Stencil value greater than 0 to the mesh of both spheres
• To enable or disable the outline set the value of** Render Custom Depth** to the mesh of the sphere

If you can’t make it work give me more details about the errors or about what you can’t see.
