well, more how can I add it without making a new game type. It was done with the team beacon mutator, but that just draws little icons, I'm wondering how I could change the whole HUD w/o having to create a whole new game type...

just make the game type, it easer to under stand the functions for the hud if u do, i did an split (with - signs) the challeng hud up so i could understand it
Sure it's possible to change the HUD. Use ModifyPlayer to change PlayerPawn(Other).myHUD. Unclean programming, but it works. 
I think it might also be possible to replace the HUD in a SpawnNotify, though my attempts to do so crashed UT. Though at the time I didn't really understand what I was doing, so it may yet be possible.

This is my code written from tutorial by Druken Master ascholer@mediaone.net... You'll get the idea...
create mutator:
class scpHudScore extends Mutator;
var bool gbInitDone;
function PreBeginPlay()
{
if (gbInitDone) return;
gbInitDone = True;
spawn(class'scpHudScore.scpHudScoreNotify');
}
Create the spawn notify:
class scpHudScoreNotify extends SpawnNotify;
simulated event Actor SpawnNotification( Actor loActor )
{
if ( HUD(loActor).HUDMutator == none)
{
HUD(loActor).HUDMutator = spawn(class'scpHudScore.scpHudScoreHud',loActor);
}
else
{
HUD(loActor).HUDMutator.AddMutator(spawn(class'scpHudScore.scpHudScoreHud',loActor));
}
return loActor;
}
defaultproperties
{
ActorClass=class'Engine.HUD';
}
create the hud:
class scpHudScoreHud extends Mutator;
simulated function PostRender (canvas loCanvas)
{
loCanvas.SetPos(30,50);
loCanvas.DrawText("my text");
}
create mutator:
class scpHudScore extends Mutator;
var bool gbInitDone;
function PreBeginPlay()
{
if (gbInitDone) return;
gbInitDone = True;
spawn(class'scpHudScore.scpHudScoreNotify');
}
Create the spawn notify:
class scpHudScoreNotify extends SpawnNotify;
simulated event Actor SpawnNotification( Actor loActor )
{
if ( HUD(loActor).HUDMutator == none)
{
HUD(loActor).HUDMutator = spawn(class'scpHudScore.scpHudScoreHud',loActor);
}
else
{
HUD(loActor).HUDMutator.AddMutator(spawn(class'scpHudScore.scpHudScoreHud',loActor));
}
return loActor;
}
defaultproperties
{
ActorClass=class'Engine.HUD';
}
create the hud:
class scpHudScoreHud extends Mutator;
simulated function PostRender (canvas loCanvas)
{
loCanvas.SetPos(30,50);
loCanvas.DrawText("my text");
}
