How does this system work?

The system described in the context works by using entities and components within RealityKit. Here's a breakdown of how it functions:

1. Entities and Components: Entities are assigned various components that hold data. Systems then perform updates on entities that have specific components.

2. Teleportation System Example:

   • The teleportation system stores its data in a control center component.
   • Every update, the system decreases a countdown value.
   • When the countdown reaches zero, it finds all entities with a teleporter component and picks a random one to spawn a robot.
   • The counter is then reset, and the process repeats until the club is at capacity.

3. Debugging with RealityKit:

   • If an entity's components are misconfigured or missing, the system's behavior becomes unpredictable.
   • The RealityKit debugger captures the app state at the moment you hit pause, allowing you to inspect and modify components.
   • For example, if a countdown value isn't changing, it might be because the updated component wasn't saved back to the entity.

4. Audio System in RealityKit:

   • Custom audio systems can read values (like throttle) and map them to audio properties (like decibels).
   • Audio playback can be spatial by default, and you can configure spatial, ambient, and channel audio components on entities.
