Instantiating a class

So in my code I try to create a new instance of a class I wrote, but it doesn't seem to work. The code is a bit like this:

 class NewClass
 {
 
 function NewClass()
 {
     print("class created");
 }
 
 }

Obviously this is a simplified version of what I am trying to do, but I did write this example and it also did not work. The part that isn't working is that when I call the constructor, the code does not get called (in this example it will not print out). The code where my constructor is called looks like this:

 //in some script
 function OnTriggerEnter(other:Collider)
 {
     //some other code
     new NewClass();
     //more code
 }

All of the code in the OnTriggerEnter method works and gets executed, but "class created" never gets printed out. I'm pretty new to programming so this might just be a stupid mistake but I've read over my notes and some stuff online and I'm sure this should work.
