OnMouseDown() Basic Help

Questions & Answers
1

I’m new to Unity and I am trying to use OnMouseDown() to register a click on a cube object. Basically, my code looks like

function OnMouseDown(){
	Debug.Log("Clicked");
}

This is the entire javascript file. There are no includes, no variables, and no other functions in it.

My scene consists only of a single cube with this script attached to it. I run the scene, but nothing happens when I click on the cube in either the game view or the scene view.

The cube is in the default layer and has a box collider. I have changed nothing about the project or scene apart from adding the cube.

I have been to several other questions but none of them seem to have the answer I am looking for. At this point, the only thing I can think of is that I forgot to include something when I created the project. Any thoughts?

Thanks for your answers. I figured out what’s going on. I was getting an error every time I start Unity, but it didn’t seem to make a difference. As it turns out, it is pausing my test of the scene after every frame, so my program hasn’t actually been running.
