here is a spacehandler script i made it allows you to “spray” an object onto a mesh

"""
Name: 'Mesh Spray'
Blender: 248
Group: 'Spacehandeler'
Tip: 'add an object called "Sphere" select another object paint with RMB'
"""
# HOW TO USE:
# 1 - load the script in Blender's text editor
# 2 - enable it as spacehandelr in the 3dview menu
# 3 - add an object caled "Sphere" this can be any object just rename if necesary (hardcoded when i make the gui you will be abel to use any Linked object in the scene)
# 4 - use RMB to spray the "Sphere" over the selected object
"""
#for now this script only draws objects caled "Sphere" and
#links them to the layer of the object we are drawing on
"""
#if you want to change the num of copys change Max to the num of copys
#to change the "brush" size change radius
#to make the object to use the orientation of the face change normal to "TRUE"
#personaly i use the select with "Left Mouse" option if you use "Right Mouse" you may want to change "mouse_buttons == 4:" to "mouse_buttons == 1:"
#i still nead to coment the code and add a GUI
#any feedback welcomed at [email protected] or LinkCanabico at the #blendercoders forum
