Display variables from GameInfo?

[Bellbird Creative]

All I want to do is show the player's score out of the GoalScore on the HUD (example: 45/100)

GoalScore is declared in GameInfo and the GFxMoviePlayer class won't access WorldInfo.Game via UnrealScript. Is there a way to grab that GoalScore integer from GameInfo?

Current snippet:

 MaxScoreString = string(100);
 MaxScoreTF.SetString("text", MaxScoreString);

I need that "100" to be the GoalScore variable...

Okay I kept playing around with it and I came up with this:

PlayerController grabs the GoalScore variable and stores it as GameGoalScore...

class MTPlayerController extends UTPlayerController;

var int GameGoalScore;

simulated function PostBeginPlay()
{
 super.PostBeginPlay();
 GameGoalScore = WorldInfo.Game.GoalScore;
}

Then in the GFxMoviePlayer I call on that variable instead....

class MonkeyGFxHUD extends GFxMoviePlayer;

var string MaxScoreString;
var GFxObject MaxScoreTF;

function Init2()
{
 Start();
 Advance(0.f);

 MaxScoreTF = GetVariableObject("_root.scorebar_mc.maxscore_txt");

 MaxScoreString = string(MTPlayerController(GetPC()).GameGoalScore);
 MaxScoreTF.SetString("text", MaxScoreString);
}

(All other code has been left out)

That works but it doesn't seem very stable because it's asking for the variable from the PlayerController and not straight from the source. Does anyone know of a cleaner way? Cheers

just a note, storing variables in your GameInfo is not a very good idea because in a network game the GameInfo can't be accessed.
single-player only? no problem

You could have the data get sent to the GameReplicationInfo and that'll be more or like "getting it from the source."
