tile highlighting

0 votes

Hi,
i have a 3D world made of tiles (meshInstance), just like an isometric game.
When cursor is over a tile, i want to highlight the surface of the tile.

I try setmaterialoverride, but the whole tile is highlighted, i want only its surface to be highlighted.

how can i do that ?

You could try editing the tiles to have the part you want to higlight as a separate surface and then you can access and change its material with:
meshInstance.mesh.surfacegetmaterial(surfaceindex)
meshInstance.mesh.surfacesetmaterial(surfaceindex, newMaterial)
