If you are using C#, you could use the following:

  1. Make sure there is a Collider attached to your object
  2. Add a script to the object
  3. In that script, add the following code:
void OnMouseDown(){ // Detects if the mouse is clicked within the collider bounds, it only triggers when this is true.
Destroy(this.gameObject); // Destroys the gameObject to which this script is attached
Debug.Log("You have picked up an item"); // Log a debug message
}
  1. ???
  2. Profit

Use Physics.Raycast to check when mouse down

var c = 0
function Update() {
if(Input.GetMouseButtonDown(0))
var ray = Camera.main.ScreenPointToRay (Input.mousePosition);
var hit : RaycastHit;
if(Physics.Raycast(ray,hit,100))
{
c += 1;
Debug.Log(“picked up data number “+c as string+”/12”);
}
}
