I can't for the life of me understand Blueprint Communication

I’ve followed every single tutorial, but I’m still splitting hairs at what should be a seemingly easy thing to do. I am trying to update a score, and have it display on screen. I can get the text to display, and I can get objects to work as intended, but the ■■■■ score hidden away in a Game Blueprint wont update at all. I am truly at a loss, and its sort of ■■■■■■■ me off at this point that I can’t solve a simple problem.

The first pic is of my Score Update
The second is my Level Blueprint
The third is my HUD

“Score” in both the HUD and the Editor reference my Game Blueprint that does the simple math behind score as an Object

And this is my logic: When the actor hits an object, run the function to add 100 points. My hud should be displaying the score called “sillyname” constantly, and reflect on this change. I keep getting nill errors when I run it.

whatever the the variable type is of score, it’s set to “null” value, which is what “none” in the message means. So you actually have nothing to update the scoreboard with. Not to be a donkey, but I only see one image that is uploaded, hence can see nothing more than the message really, saying that score is equal to a null value.

It seems to me, you are just “referencing” your game mode. Did you set the “Score” variable to your current running game mode in your blueprints? Something like this…
