I am trying to make the floating recources in my game send their name to my mining cube GameObjects when they are clicked.

Here’s my code:

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class drift : MonoBehaviour {

	private Vector3 torque;
	private Vector3 drifting;
	public Object cubes;

	// Use this for initialization
	void Start () {
		torque = new Vector3 (Random.Range (-45.0F, 30.0F), Random.Range (-37.0F, 38.0F), Random.Range (-30.0F, 45.0F)) * 10 * Time.deltaTime;
		drifting = new Vector3 (Random.Range (-1.0F, 1.0F), Random.Range (-1.0F, 1.0F), Random.Range (-1.0F, 1.0F)) * 10 * Time.deltaTime;
		rigidbody.AddTorque (torque);
		rigidbody.AddForce (drifting*50);
	}

	void OnMouseDown () {
		cubes = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("player");
		foreach (Object player in cubes) {
			GetComponent<highlight> ().targetraw = gameObject;
		}
	}
}

You need to create an array of gameobjects:

public GameObject[] cubes;

void Start(){
cubes = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("player");
}

void OnMouseDown () {
foreach (Object player in cubes) {
GetComponent<highlight> ().targetraw = gameObject;
}

something like this
