Code: HUD Day/Night Timer
area/outside
    var
        min = 0
        sec = 0
    proc
        Get_dntime()
            return "[min]:[sec]" // #1-HERE!!!!
    proc
        dncycletimer()
            if(60)
                min++
                sec = 0
            else sec++
            if(min == 25)
                daycycle()
            sleep(10)
            dncycletimer()

obj
    hud
        dntime
            name = "Day/Night Timer"
            icon = 'hud.dmi' //Its icon file
            icon_state = "dn"
            screen_loc = "6,11" //Were it shows up on the screen
            Click() //When you click it
                Get_dntime() // #2-TO HERE!!!!!!!

mob/Login() //When you login
    var/obj/hud/dntime/A = new() //Defines the HUD
    usr.client.screen += A //Adds the HUD
    ..()


Problem description: I keep getting an error for #1:

error:Get_dntime:undefined proc


I have an idea of what's wrong (Fairly obvious problem :P) But I don't know where I would put #1 so that #2 reads it correctly.

The proc Get_dntime() is listed as an area proc, you are trying to call it on an object.
Basically, here is what you did:

Talking to Area: (You): I'm giving you this proc!

Talking to Obj: (You): Use this proc! Error? Double you tee eff? <-- You didn't give the Obj the proc, so it can't use it, you gave it to the area.

You could do this a few other ways, such as:

obj
    hud
        dntime
            name = "Day/Night Timer"
            icon = 'hud.dmi' //Its icon file
            icon_state = "dn"
            screen_loc = "6,11" //Were it shows up on the screen
            Click() //When you click it
                usr.Get_dntime() // #2-TO HERE!!!!!!!
mob/proc/Get_dntime()
    for(var/area/outside/A in loc)
        usr<<"[A.min]:[A.sec]"

Try that, oughta work.

It will, but it won't work good. No put usr in login, ugh (except in Login as long as you don't change the mob, and Click, and DblClick)

From my own experience, usr in Login assumes that there is a client, while src does not. If people log in and out while the login proc is excuting, say adding a hud, you're going to get runtimes if client is assumed and the person has logged out already. Other than that I'm not sure about non-interchangable examples because NPCs don't log in, right?
