Trying to expand on the base MouseOvertext.js to scale ...

Unity Engine
1 
var highlightColor = Color.red;
	
function OnMouseEnter () {
	guiText.material.color = highlightColor;
	transform.localScale (1.2, 1.2, 1.2);
}

function OnMouseExit () {
	guiText.material.color = Color.white;
	transform.localScale (1, 1, 1);

}

Gives an error about not invoking the vector 3 expression (in a function??). Can the text object be scaled in this manner?[/code]

That’s because localScale is not a function, but a variable of type Vector3.

What you want is:

var highlightColor = Color.red; 
    
function OnMouseEnter () { 
   guiText.material.color = highlightColor; 
   transform.localScale = Vector3 (1.2, 1.2, 1.2); 
} 

function OnMouseExit () { 
   guiText.material.color = Color.white; 
   transform.localScale = Vector3 (1, 1, 1); 

}

I.e. you create a Vector3 using the Vector3 (x, y, x) construct and then assign it to the localScale parameter using the assignment operator (=)

Excellent. And you’d then use the same method for position or rotation as well. Thanks, Keli!
