using UnityEngine;

public class CubeSwitcher : MonoBehaviour {

	GameObject LCube, TCube, UCube, ZCube,ZCube2;
	int playerSelect;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		playerSelect = 1;
		LCube = GameObject.Find("LCube");
		TCube = GameObject.Find("TCube");

		TCube.SetActive (false);

	}

	// Update is called once per frame
	void Update () {
		if (Input.GetKeyDown (KeyCode.DownArrow))
		{
			if (playerSelect == 1) {
				playerSelect = 2;
			} else if (playerSelect == 2) 
			{
				playerSelect = 1;
			}

		if (playerSelect == 1) {
			LCube.SetActive (true);
			TCube.SetActive (false);
		} else if (playerSelect == 2)

			LCube.SetActive (false);
			TCube.SetActive (true);
		}
	}

You ought to look up some tutorials around using arrays and/or lists as when you have a large or unknown number of things to save that are related to each other, is prime use! Here’s an example of how you might solve your problem:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;

public class CubeSwitcher : MonoBehaviour {
	string[] cubePrefix; //array of prefixes to append to "cube" to lookup gameobject names
	GameObject[] cubes; //the cubes that we find
	int playerCount; //the number of cubes found
	int playerSelect; //the current active cube

	void Start () {
		cubePrefix = new string[3]{"L", "T", "Z"};
		List<GameObject> c = new List<GameObject>();
		
		playerSelect = 0;

		for(int i = 0; i < playerCount; i++){
			GameObject go = GameObject.Find(cubePrefix *+ "Cube");*

  •  	if(go != null){ //if we didn't find the object, skip it!*

  •  		if(c.Count == playerSelect){*

  •  			go.SetActive(true); //if this cube is the currently selected one, activate!*

  •  		}else{*

  •  			go.SetActive(false); //else deactivate*

  •  		}*

  •  		c.Add(go); //then add it to our list and carry on*

  •  	}*

  •  }*

  •  cubes = c.ToArray(); //make our list an array*

  •  playerCount = cubes.Length; //save the number of objects found*

  • }*

  • // Update is called once per frame*

  • void Update(){*

  •  if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.DownArrow)){*

  •  	playerSelect = (playerSelect+1)%playerCount;*

  •  	// the '%' in 'a%b' returns the remainder after the division of a/b*

  •  	//hence this moves through our objects cyclically*

  •  	//(the last item goes back to the first item)*

  •  	//look up modulo arithmetic for more info!*

  •  	for(int i = 0; i < playerCount; i++){*

_ cubes*.SetActive(i == playerSelect); //set active if currently selected*_
* }*
* }*
* }*
}
