Im trying to create a tooltip when hovering over my gameobject

Hello everyone,

currently im trying to solve a problem I encountered, but I cant find anything online. I want to have a tooltip show when I hover over a planet that shows some variables about that planet. I am unsure how to do this, since Texts and Images work differently than regular gameobjects. Im trying to set a Text type active while hovering, as visible in my planetscript:

{ //UI and sprite public Sprite[] spritelist; public SpriteRenderer rend; public float makebigger = 1.3f; public bool madeBigger = false;

 //Planet stats
 public int fuelCost;
 public int Coins;
 public int Enemies;
 public int FightStrength;
 public int CrewCost;

 public GameObject beginstation;

 public Text statText;

 void Start()
 {
     //Random sprite from list
     rend.sprite = spritelist[Random.Range(0, spritelist.Length)];

     fuelCost = Random.Range(1, 5);
     Coins = Random.Range(1, 5);
     Enemies = Random.Range(1, 5);
     FightStrength = Random.Range(1, 5);
     CrewCost = Random.Range(1, 5);

     beginstation = GameObject.Find("BeginStation");
     
     //Tooltip
     statText.text = "Fuelcost: " + fuelCost + "Coins: " + Coins;
 }

 void OnMouseOver()
 {
     if (madeBigger == false)
     {
         transform.localScale *= makebigger;
         madeBigger = true;

         statText.gameObject.SetActive(true);

     }
 }
 void OnMouseExit()
 {
     transform.localScale /= makebigger;
     madeBigger = false;
     statText.gameObject.SetActive(false);
 }
 void OnMouseDown()
 {
     Debug.Log("Enemies: " + Enemies);
     Debug.Log("Coins: " + Coins);
     Debug.Log("Fuel cost: " + fuelCost);
     Debug.Log("FightStrength: " + FightStrength);
     beginstation.GetComponent<WorldGenScript>().needSpawn = true;
 }

I figured that this would show a certain text showing the variables for that specific planet, but it does not even turn off the text on the canvas. So how do I show a text when hovering over a gameobject, which shows some of the variables of that specific gameobject?

Thank you
