Hi! I am trying to make it so when I click a cube it is selected(I already scripted this part) but when i click outside of the cube it deselects it. How would i go about doing this? I don’t need code i just need an explanation. Thanks in advanced.

It would me helpful if u posted the code and just have me modify it for you but lets do it your way. Well i think there has to be an “else” statement inside your code, try deleting it or making it so if the place you clicked doesnt have any object or is not a cube → do nothing instead of making your variable null.

Hope it helps.

Hmm ok so what you want is to select only the first cube and if the first cube is selected and u click anywhere else from that cube even if u click another cube to have it deselected ?
Ok for this one you can do this:

var selected = false;

var MyCube : Transform;

function Update () {
if (MyCube != null) {
selected = true;
} else { selected = false; }
}

function OnMouseDown() {
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay(Input.mousePosition);

 if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0)) {
  if(Physics.Raycast(ray, 100)) {
    if (hit.transform.name == "TheCubeNameIwant"){
         if (MyCube == null) { MyCube = hit.transform; }
    } else {
         if (hit.transform != MyCube) { MyCube = null; }
    }
  }
 }
}
