    Do you mean that when the object is clicked on, it should be replaced by the next object in a list of objects?

    For clicking on an object, give the object a collider and use the OnMouseDown() function. As for replacing the object with a new one, I answered a similar question here.

    You'll have to learn some programming if you want to be able to use Unity effectively. There are plenty of tutorials and references available though that you can use to get started (just search the forums for 'scripting tutorial', and you should find some).

    Meanwhile, here's what the code might look like in C# (not compiled or tested):

    Code (csharp):
    1. using UnityEngine;
    2.  
    3. public class ReplaceOnClick : MonoBehaviour
    4. {
    5.     public GameObject prefab;
    6.  
    7.     void OnMouseDown()
    8.     {
    9.         GameObject.Instantiate(prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
    10.         Destroy(gameObject);
    11.     }
    12. }
    (That's off the top of my head, so I might not have gotten all the details right.)

    Using the above script (or one like it), you could create a set of prefabs, each of which references another prefab in the set. For example, for three prefabs A, B, and C, A would reference B, B would reference C, and C would reference A. Then, clicking on the objects would result in cycling through the object types.

    (There are other options, but that's probably the most straightforward solution.)
