This is the way I did it in my game.

proc/Update_Status(mob/M as mob)
    if(M.client)
        for(var/obj/hud/health/H in M.client.screen)
            H.icon_state = num2text(round(M.HP/M.MAX_HP,0.1)*100)
        for(var/obj/hud/mana/H in M.client.screen)
                        H.icon_state = num2text(round(M.MP/M.MAX_MP,0.1)*100)
        spawn(2)
            if(M) Update_Status(M)

mob
        Login()
                Update_Status(src)
                ..()

if you dont like the bars in the demos make your own that you like. Once youve made your bar change the width to the number of states in your bar icon.

Wow, I can't think of any possible way you could do that any worse. Unless if you didn't use spawn(). Why do you need to update their health and mana every 1/5 of a second? Just update it when their health or mana changes! And why not store the health and mana HUD objects in a variable?

Andhow exactly would you store it in a variable?

mob
  var/obj/healthHUD
  var/obj/manaHUD
  Login()
    manaHUD = new /obj/manabar
    healthHUD = new /obj/healthbar
    client.screen += manaHUD
    client.screen = new healthHUD

Garthor, I have one more question. Say if the user beats a monster, and there health increases. Will I need to enlarge the size of the bar? And if not, how do you create a code that it subtracts from the bar whenever you get hit?

I've been trying to code this for a while, but this time I came to the forum.

[Edit]

I logged in to 'Dragonball Zeta' and found what I wanted. Displays the PL in a bar on top of the screen. And when you gain PL, the number just changes, without enlarging. And no, I am not making a DBZ game.

Thanks!

I've seen it in many games. Looks like I'm getting the help that I need yet. Hopefully, I'll get some help on the forum like I usuallly do....:\

Ive tried asking the owners for help coding and every single one of them said no... I suggest a chatters game. They usually have good info.
