How to Spawn a Prefab over an Array of Transforms, One Prefab at a Time?

Question

Everything is working as it should except my game objects that I want to spawn are all spawning at once instead of one at a time.

Code:

             if(i>=whatEverYouWant){
                 GameObject[] gameObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("myTag");
                 Transform[] transforms = new Transform[myArray.Length];
                 for (int j = 0; j < gameObjects.Length; j++) {
                     transforms[j] = gameObjects[j].transform;
                     GameObject myArrayClones = Instantiate (myPrefab, transforms[j].transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
                 }
             }

Only 1 prefab should be instantiated at transforms[j].transform.position, each time the mouse button is clicked.

Instead they all spawn at once.

What's the simples way to fix this?

Thanks!

Never mind.

Removed the for loop and added:

 if(j<gameObjects.Length){

             if(i>=whatEverYouWant){
                  GameObject[] gameObjects = GameObject.FindGameObjectsWithTag("myTag");
                  Transform[] transforms = new Transform[myArray.Length];
 if(j<gameObjects.Length){
                 // for (int j = 0; j < gameObjects.Length; j++) {
                      transforms[j] = gameObjects[j].transform;
                      GameObject myArrayClones = Instantiate (myPrefab, transforms[j].transform.position, transform.rotation) as GameObject;
                  }
              }
        }

Basically had to store GameObjects with "myTag" into an array. Next had to store the transforms from all of the instantiated prefabs into another array. Then cycle through the entire array one mouse click at a time to spawn the new prefabs.

This post also helped a lot, thanks.
