InvokeRepeating in OnMouseDrag

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var ball : Transform;
3.  
4. function OnMouseDrag(){
5.    InvokeRepeating( "CreateBall" , 3 , 3 );
6.  
7. }
8.  
9. function CreateBall(){
10.      
11.     Instantiate( ball, transform.position , Quaternion.identity );     
12.          
13.          
14. }

I was hoping to create a ball every 3 seconds when the mouse button is kept pressed down. What is happening with the above code is that after 3 seconds a continuous creation of balls are created

 

OnMouseDrag is called every frame the mouse is dragging, so a new CreateBall() is being started once every frame. You'd want to use OnMouseDown instead, which is only called once. And then do CancelInvoke in OnMouseUp.

Worked perfectly. Thanks for the quick response.
