Spawning help

[quinn.d40]

I am trying to make a spawn that when i get close a demon appears. the problem is it spawns a billion at once help.

    var Player : Transform;
    var Range : int;
    var prefab : GameObject;
    function Start () {
    }
    function Update () {
    transform.LookAt(Player);
    if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) <= Range){
    Instantiate(prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
    }
    }

You need something to control how many demons you want to spawn, and at what interval they will spawn.

Your current code will spawn a demon whenever the player is close enough, and the spawn happens every frame.

One of many ways to fix this

var Player : Transform;
var Range : int;
var prefab : GameObject;

var spawnCount : int = 3;            //How many to be spawn
var spawnInterval : float = 2.0;     //wait this much of time to spawn new demon
private var _lastspawnTime : float;  //when the last spawn happen

function Start () {
    _lastspawnTime = -spawnInterval;
}
    
function Update () {
    transform.LookAt(Player);

    if(Vector3.Distance(transform.position,Player.position) <= Range){
        if( _lastspawnTime < Time.time && spawnCount > 0 ) {
           Instantiate(prefab, transform.position, transform.rotation);
            _lastspawnTime = Time.time + spawnInterval;
            spawnCount--;
        }
    }
}

There are other ways to do it, but I wouldn’t write them down here.
