all prefabs values change but need one active only.

Unity Engine

So I have found a ton of these scripts out there but can not seem to find one for my use.
Let me explain it and show the code, maybe someone can point me in the right direction please.

I have a gameobject prefab=mineral. I have a script EmeraldTest.cs attached to it. I have duplicated this prefab and placed it into my scene at different locations.

When the gameobject prefab=player runs up to one of the mineral prefabs and starts to extract the resources from this mineral prefab, I want ONLY this prefabs resources to deduct. However,.

When the player moves to the next mineral prefab it shows this mineral prefabs correct resource amount but when I begin to extract this minerals resources this minerals original resources @ 10000 jumps down to whereever I left off from the last one say @ 5000. So this second mineral prefabs will show the 10k then instantly jump to 5k and continue drawing out the resources from 5k and down.

Ok hope this explains the problem, thx all.

PREFAB EMERALD CODE
EmeraldTest.cs

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class EmeraldTest : MonoBehaviour
{
     
   public Rigidbody rb;
   public GameObject menu; // Assign in inspector
   private bool isShowing = false;

   public float totalResources;       // total starting resources
   public float totalRsLeft;         // total resources left

   // public UIButton exitButton;       // the exit button on the mining computer interface.
   public Text RsText;             // Resources Left value on UI

   public ParticleSystem miningLaser;     // Ref. to mining laser particle system

   //bool isTriggered = false;
     
   void Start()
   {
     miningLaser.Stop ();         // Particles is looping so turn off on start
     
     totalResources = Random.Range(8000,20000);       // Randomize a value between (x,x)
     totalRsLeft = totalResources;

     menu.SetActive(isShowing);       // Set the menu trigger to hide. isShowing = false;
   }

   void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
   {
     if (other.tag == "Player")       // *** SHOW MENU ***
     {     
       //isTriggered = true;     
       isShowing = true;         // Set the menu trigger to show. isShowing = true;
       MiningComputerInterface();     // call the show menu function.

       // Freeze players position in mid air.
       rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeAll;
       RsText.text = totalResources.ToString();
     }
   }

   void OnTriggerExit()           // *** HIDE MENU ***
   {
     //isTriggered = false;
     isShowing = false;
     MiningComputerInterface();       // Hide the menu from view.
   }

   void MiningComputerInterface()
   {
     menu.SetActive(isShowing);
   }

   public void miningButton()      // THIS IS THE CODE FOR EXTRACTING THE RESOURCES
   {
     miningLaser.Play();
     totalRsLeft = Random.Range(20,180);
     totalResources = totalResources - totalRsLeft;
     RsText.text = totalResources.ToString();

     miningLaser.Stop();
   }

   public void exitButtonPressed()
   {
     rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.None;
     rb.constraints = RigidbodyConstraints.FreezePositionZ | RigidbodyConstraints.FreezeRotation;
   }
}

there is nothing in the “miningButton()” function to check if the player is mining this resource.

Remember this script is ON the mineral prefab. When you press the button in the GUI it links to this script, therefor every click reduces the totalResources variable. But I thought if you put a global variable in a script linked to a prefab, you change just that prefabs variable and not everyone else’s variable with the same script.

How does the Button link to the correct script attached to the mineral you want to mine?

With an OnClick event. Imgur: The magic of the Internet
And while playing the game the button appears Imgur: The magic of the Internet

Looks like you need to assign the correct crystal to the OnClick() event of the mining button in your OnTriggerEnter code, otherwise the crystal being referenced will always be the same Crystal.
