Can anyone point me to proper ways to work with game mode and game state?

Oh holy **** for some reason I CANNOT get an interface to work correctly from player controller to player state. I simply do not know what tiny detail I am missing right now but this fairly simple concept seems to have become a total nightmare.

What is going on?

Nevermind, I figured it out and its not so bad at all. I was just missing the proper target for the game state.

Now to figure out how to generate a queue for players to join a match. hmm
