how do i make a highlight / border/ outline on my 3d object when the mouse is over it?

something you would do in character selection/ character creation

If you are using Blitz3D, OpenB3D or miniB3D you can use CameraPick with the mouse coordinates, and it will return the selected entity (as long as the entity is pickable: you have to use EntityPickMode before). Then, you can just change entity color.

Setting the object to fullbright is a good way to visually highlight it.

eg.
Const C_FULLBRIGHT = 1
EntityFX entity_to_highlight, C_FULLBRIGHT
