Put a:

Debug.Log("Mouse Entered!");

Debug.Log("Mouse Exited!");

…in your Enter and Exit functions respectively - that’ll narrow the issue down.

There’s nothing wrong with your script. I tried it on a simple sphere object, it shows the tooltip text right below the mouse cursor.

I will say the problem might be your layers http://unity3d.com/support/documentation/Components/Layers.html.

Perhaps ur layer of ur object is accidentally set to ignore raycast or whatever. Because currently i also tried out ur script and it is working fine and when i try to switch it to ignore raycast layer, it doesn’t show the words. So i guessing u might have changed the layers. Hope that helps.

ok so it works now, can i add a nice background to text as it is floating in air…what to update in script

Not very about that, but i think u can add another gui.label that hold a texture in addition to ur current gui.label.

i just added a line in code, mouse over is working, i want to open a pop-up window on click , so i added a line in a function

but left click doesnt work, any suggesstions ??

i also tried this way -

Ur function update should be function Update().
