I've encountered an issue with a script I created that is supposed to add a new plane to a scene every time I click on an existing plane using a raycaster for detection. However, the script is adding planes uncontrollably to the scene without any clicks happening. I'm not sure what I missed in the script. Can someone help me figure this out?
Thank you!
