Your immediate problem is that you use [ and ] when you should be using { and }.

Functions doesn’t end with ;

I’d strongly recommend that you try to learn how to program with Unitys Javascript.

If you search answers for help on learning Javascript for Unity, you’ll find a lot of resources.

Here’s one, for example: [How can i learn JavaScript (UnityScript) ?][3]

Some things to keep in mind when you look for tutorials or books regarding Unitys JavaScript.

  • It’s often called UnityScript, to solve an ambiguity with other languages that are named similarly.
  • So avoid confusion with

 - So avoid confusion with [Java][2]!

Hope it helps. Good luck, and pick a nice site to start learning programming.

Wrong brackets, and you don’t need semicolon after closing bracket. You do however need a semicolon after each “INSTRUCTION (F U @Vexe)”.

function OnMouseEnter()
{
    renderer.material.color = Color.red;
}
