I have a question hope you would be able to help me.

I did this script called CubeClass. Has a class called Cube, each cube object has an id, color...

I am stuck now and I do not know how to continue. I want to retreive the ID of the object whenever the player presses on it. For example cube number 6 will have an of 5. I have tried using OnMouseDown() but to no avail.

Hope you will be able to guide me to the right direction! Thanks in advance

here is my script:

var bl:GameObject;
var gr:GameObject;
var re:GameObject;
var cubecollection:GameObject[];
var colorcollection:String[];
var cubestorage:Array; //creates all instantiated cubes
static var ElementID7 : int = 0;

class Cube extends System.Object
{
    var cprefab:GameObject;//since it is a prefab so it has to be of type GameObject
    var id:int;
    var cubecolor:String;

    function Cube(cprefab:GameObject,id:int,cubecolor:String)
    {
        this.cprefab=cprefab;
        this.id=id;
        this.cubecolor=cubecolor;
    }
}

function Start()
{
    cubestorage = new Array();

    createCubes();
    drawCubes();
}

function Update () {    
    //bl.transform.position.x = 15;

    Debug.Log("The seventh cube has: " + cubestorage[6].id); 
    Debug.Log("The seventh cube has color of: "+ cubestorage[6].cubecolor);
    ElementID7 = cubestorage[6].id;
}

function OnMouseDown()
{
    var cube:Object;    
    Debug.Log(cube.id);
}

function createCubes()
{
    var cube:Object;
    var counter:int =0;
    var randomnumber:int =0;

    for (i=0; i<4; i++)
    {
        for(j=0;j<4;j++)
        {
            randomnumber = Random.Range(0,3);
            //Instantiate(cubecollection[Random.Range(0,3)],Vector2(i,j),Quaternion.identity);
            cube = new Cube(cubecollection[randomnumber],counter++,colorcollection[randomnumber]);
            cubestorage.Add(cube);
            Debug.Log(cube.id);
        }
    }

}

function drawCubes()
{
    var xcounter:int = 0;
    var ycounter:float = 0;
    var xgap:float=0;

    //Debug.Log(cubestorage.length);
    for(i=0;i<cubestorage.length;i++)
    {
        Instantiate(cubestorage*.cprefab,Vector2(xgap,ycounter),Quaternion.identity); //(prefab,position,rotation)*
 *xcounter++;*
 *xgap +=1.25;*
 *if (!(xcounter%4))*
 *{*
 *xcounter=0;*
 *ycounter+=1.5;*
 *xgap =0;*
 *}*
 *}*
*}*
*```*

Siiry if I didn't understand your code but...

the scope of your var 'cube' is only inside each function, but in each function is a different gameobject.

In my opinion, I would create all your prefabs in one separate script and then every cube would run its CubeClass script... I think you are thinking too much in the Java way. Talking in a non-pure way each script is a class, and each cube is an element in the scene with its onw script, but similar to the other CubeClass elements...

I don't know if I explain myself properly, it is kind of tricky to explain in text...
