Unity make dotted line renderer

Question

I know, that this question was asked before, but I could not find a proper answer to this. So how can I make my line dotted? I added a texture with a dot, but it just gets stretched for the length of the line, which is obviously not what I want. I'm using C# btw, if some code is needed here.

Edit: Inspector:

Edit: New Code :

public class dashedLine : MonoBehaviour
{
    public Vector2 newPosition;
    private LineRenderer line;

    void Awake()
    {
        line = GetComponent<LineRenderer>();
    }

    void Update()
        {
        line.material.SetTextureOffset("_MainTex", new Vector2(Time.timeSinceLevelLoad * 4f, 0f));
        line.material.SetTextureScale("_MainTex", new Vector2(newPosition.magnitude, 1f));
        line.SetPosition(0, newPosition);
       }
}

This is what I get:

Edit: This works now, when I use a Texture which has multiple dots in a row and put it to a material with Shader: Unlit/Transparent. I still don't know, why it's not working with a single dot.

Edit2: I had to recreate the dot texture with a single dot and it worked, so there was some issue on my side. Everything works now fine.

Apply a texture with a circle to a material, assign that material to a line renderer, and attach a script to it that will scale the texture relative to the magnitude of the line. Here's some code:

public class LineScript : MonoBehaviour
{
    private LineRenderer line;

    void Awake()
    {
        line = GetComponent<LineRenderer>();
    }

    void Update()
    {
        Vector2 newPosition = (Vector2)Camera.main.ScreenToWorldPoint(Input.mousePosition);
        line.material.SetTextureOffset("_MainTex", new Vector2(Time.timeSinceLevelLoad * 4f, 0f));
        line.material.SetTextureScale("_MainTex", new Vector2(newPosition.magnitude, 1f));
        line.SetPosition(0, newPosition);
    }
}
