Prefabs double at each instance?

Questions & Answers

Hey, I’m making a 2d game, which requires 6 prefabs which spawn enemies at specific intervals. But when there are some instances already in the game, when the prefab instantiates again, it makes 2 of the prefabs spawn, and on the third time 3 will spawn and so on. I have all of the prefabs above the screen, out of view. Here is the code on my prefabs:
var Enemy:Transform;
private var Timer:float;

    function Awake() {
    Timer = Time.time + 5;
    }
     
    function Update() {  
    if (Timer < Time.time) { 
    Instantiate(Enemy, new Vector3(-2.567029, -1.864899, -4.613899), transform.rotation); 
    Timer = Time.time + 5; 
    }

This is the code that spawns the enemies at certain times. Is there a way to stop the doubling up when they spawn? It means my points system is screwed up! Cheers

Don’t put this script on your “Enemy” prefabs. Attach this to an empty game object somewhere in the scene, then it’ll spawn one enemy every 5 seconds.
