Alright, I ran this through interlopers, nothing stood out. I'm trying to figure out why my point_spotlight isn't creating the spotlight cone of light effect... I tried taking one from the swamp pack, no luck, nothing is leaking, and so I'm trying to figure out what is causing this....

Here is the code
