How to get the object to move only when I click on it and not just anywhere else?

Question

Hi everyone i was trying to make a 2D game where mt gameobject(key) moves when I click on it.Well I was able to move it using the c# script below but, the problem is that when I add more than one object and when i click they all move at once. I just want them to move only I click on them and not just anywhere else on the screen not even on any other object. Please note that I am not using Transform since I am dealing with collisions and I don't my object to shake on collision . ANY HELP IS APPRECIATED. THE SCRIPT-- using UnityEngine; using System.Collections;

 public class movement2 : MonoBehaviour {
 
     void Start () {
     
     }
 
     void Update () {
         if (Input.GetMouseButton(0)) {
             GetComponent<Rigidbody2D>().AddForce (new Vector2(-3,0));
         }
     
     }
 }

If you place the script on each GameObject you want to drag, you can use OnMouseOver() it's getting called on the GameObject, when the mouse is over it.

THANK YOU solved half of my problem. I have the same problem in this case but here my object will move on click only when it detects collision with the object"LOCK" . Any idea how I can to do it in this case?

 using UnityEngine;
 using System.Collections;
 
 public class collision2 : MonoBehaviour {
 
     // Use this for initialization
     void Start () {
     
     }
 
     void OnCollisionStay2D(Collision2D coll)    
     {
         if (coll.gameObject.tag == "LOCK") {
             if (Input.GetMouseButton (0)) {
                 GetComponent<Rigidbody2D> ().AddForce (new Vector2 (18, 0));
             }
         }
     }
 
 }

Your second script will only react if the GameObject it is on collide with a GameObject that has the tag == "LOCK". But I dont understand what you want. Could you explain more how you want the script to behaive?
