Instantiating Prefab Every 5 seconds

Questions & Answers
1

Hey,

I am new to Unity and trying to do a college assignment…

I need to repeat a game object which I have animated and got to bounce along the screen etc…

I am finding it hard to instantiate the prefab every 5 seconds or so so the characters can keep repeating…

I have searched code but every time I put it into a script I get error…

Can anyone help me out please? Do certain parts of the code have to match parts of my prefab or gameobject?

Thanks. John

There are severall solutions to achieve this. First few which come to my mind are Update, Coroutine or InvokeRepeat.

Coroutine Example.

void Start(){
    StartCoroutine(Spawner());
} 

public IEnumerator Spawner(){
    bool flag = true;

    while(flag){
        Debug.Log("Bam");
	    yield return new WaitForSeconds(5f);
    }
}

Use Instantiate() to create desired gameObject.
