HELP! highlight gameobject when mouse cursor move to it

Scripting
1

It is something like the live demo in unity website, the demo in the room which you can drag the chairs and table. I want to highlight the gameobject when my mouse cursor move to it. which script should I use?

Link a disabled light to the gameobject

Then use ScreenPointToRay to cast a ray to it

something like that:

var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);
		
		
	if(Physics.Raycast(ray, hit, Mathf.Infinity))
	{
		
		hit.light.enabled=true;
}

iirc, in that demo the technique used was to change the color and/or material of the object with OnMouseOver. Something akin to the following.

function OnMouseOver () {
    renderer.material.color = colorRed;
}

Here’s the documentation for it.

You can also download the actual project and see exactly how it’s done.
