How to make a prefab instantiate every 5 seconds.

Hi, I am trying to make a flash of lightning prefab spawn every five seconds. How would I go about doing this?
Thanks,

GJ

 

Code (csharp):

1. var flashPrefab : GameObject;
2.  
3. function Start () {
4.    InvokeRepeating ("CreateLightning", 0.0f, 0.5f);
5. }
6.  
7. function CreateLighting () {
8.    Instantiate (flashPrefab);
9. }

 

There are also coroutines:

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. var flashPrefab : GameObject;
3.  
4. function SpawnLightning()
5. {
6.     while( true )
7.     {
8.         yield WaitForSeconds(5.0);
9.         Instantiate(flashPrefab);
10.     }
11. }
12.  

 

Just a quick note that Daniel's code will spawn lightning every half second not every 5 seconds.

 

Also you might want to look into Random.Range. Might give it a more realistic feel.
