highlight cube sides on mouse hover

Question

hi how would i code (in c#) so a side of a cube is highlighted when a mouse hovers over. i need it to update so whichever side of the cube i point at with the mouse, it highlights. i can already make the cube highlight on mouse pointing but not the sides. thanks

By sides you mean faces I assume. That's not going to be an easy one. You need to either have an emissive shader depending on a mask, a set of 7 mask (each faces and no faces) and a way to find which texture correspond to which face.

Or, when you found the face, create a new object with a mesh plane the size of your cube faces and display it above the selected face, with the highlight material.

To find the face, you'll have to use the info inside RaycastHit.
