Resolved Showing text when the player is near an object and hovering over it

I'm looking for a way to make some text appear on screen when the player is hovering the mouse over an object but only if they're also close to it. Thanks in advance.

 

Put a component on the object that contains data about what should be displayed on the screen (e.g. the text). Then, in Update, you can do a raycast from the camera through the mouse position (Camera.ScreenPointToRay with the mouse position) with the desired max distance. If you get a hit, get the component off the hit object and display the UI text element with the text from the component.

 

Thanks, this was really helpful!
