 var prefab : GameObject;//drag your object here in the inspector
 var clone : GameObject;
 var offset : float;//set this to whatever distance the clone should be created at from the forward axis
 
 function Update(){
      if (Input.Get$$anonymous$$ouseButtonDown(1)) {
           clone = Instantiate(prefab, transform.forward * offset, Quaternion.identity);
      }
 
 }
