# Samples Overview

Runtime Spawner includes a set of **focused sample scenes** demonstrating core systems, addon behaviors, and networking setups.

Each sample is designed to be **self-contained**, with a dedicated readme explaining setup and usage.

***

### Base Samples

These are the recommended starting point for all users.

#### Core

Provides all of the shared content used by the other samples. Required if you are installing / using the other samples.

Includes:

* Simple Environment
* Sample Characters and animations (from the Ambient City character packs)
* Shared Runtime Spawner configuration / setup used by the other samples.

{% hint style="info" %}
Note: the Core samples are required by all other samples, but it provides no demo scenes in and of itself.
{% endhint %}

#### Global

Demonstrates **persistent world population spawning**.

Includes:

* Continuous spawning logic
* Population limits and balancing
* Ambient-style spawning behavior
* Spawn Director demonstration scenes / configuration.

Use this to:

* Build open-world or background population systems

#### Local Area

Demonstrates **region-based spawning tied to player presence**.

Includes:

* Trigger-driven activation
* Enter/exit-based population control
* Localized encounter zones

Use this to:

* Create combat spaces, rooms, or proximity-based encounters

#### Waves

Demonstrates **structured, timed spawning patterns**.

Includes:

* Wave definitions and looping behavior
* Spawn timing and pacing control
* Integration with the Spawn Director

Use this to:

* Build survival modes or scripted combat encounters

#### Spawnpoints

Demonstrates **authored spawn point workflows**.

Includes:

* Explicit spawn locations
* Category-based matching between entries and points
* Deterministic placement

Use this to:

* Create ambushes, controlled entrances, or precise encounter setups

### Networking Samples

These samples demonstrate how Runtime Spawner integrates with multiplayer backends.

> Note: Networking samples require the corresponding core networking package to be installed.

#### PUN Core

Demonstrates **basic integration with Photon PUN** using the Runtime Spawner.

Includes:

* PUN bootstrap setup (connect + room flow)
* Networked spawning via factory system
* Master Client authoritative spawning

Use this to:

* Understand how spawner execution is synchronized in PUN

#### PUN Local Area

Demonstrates **region-based spawning in a networked environment**.

Includes:

* Local Area Spawner with PUN drivers
* Replicated player presence
* Deterministic activation across clients

Use this to:

* Build multiplayer encounter zones

#### PUN Waves

Demonstrates **wave-based spawning with network synchronization**.

Includes:

* Wave triggers driven by network authority
* External activation mode for deterministic control
* Shared wave progression across clients

Use this to:

* Create synchronized multiplayer combat scenarios

#### Fusion Core

Demonstrates **basic integration with Photon Fusion (Shared Mode)**.

Includes:

* Fusion bootstrap and runner setup
* Networked factory and pooling integration
* Player spawning and synchronization

Use this to:

* Understand core Fusion setup with Runtime Spawner

#### Fusion Local Area

Demonstrates **region-based spawning using Fusion networking**.

Includes:

* Local Area Spawner with Fusion drivers
* Authority-driven activation
* Replicated player presence

Use this to:

* Build deterministic multiplayer encounter zones in Fusion

#### Fusion Waves

Demonstrates **wave spawning with Fusion synchronization**.

Includes:

* Network-driven wave triggers
* Shared progression across clients
* Authority-controlled spawning

Use this to:

* Implement synchronized wave-based gameplay in Fusion

### Sample Structure

All samples follow a consistent layout:

* **Scenes/** – Example scenes demonstrating specific systems
* **Prefabs/** – Player, AI, and environment prefabs
* **GameData/** – Spawn entries and configuration assets
* **Code/** – Supporting scripts and controllers
* **Content/** – Shared materials and prototype assets

### Recommended Learning Path

1. Start with **Core**
2. Explore **Global** or **Local Area**
3. Add **Waves** for structured encounters
4. Use **Spawnpoints** for authored placement
5. Move to **Networking samples** if needed
