Code:
mob
    Login()
        new /obj/healthmeter(client)
        new /obj/cpmeter(client)
        new /obj/expmeter(client)
        ..()

obj
    var/width = 16
    var/num = 0
    healthmeter // hud health meter
        name = "HP"
        icon = 'meter1.dmi'
        screen_loc = "7,6"
        icon_state = "0"

    cpmeter // hud cp meter
        name = "CP"
        icon = 'meter2.dmi'
        screen_loc = "7,6"
        icon_state = "0"

    expmeter // hud xp meter
        name = "EXP"
        icon = 'meter3.dmi'
        screen_loc = "7,6"
        icon_state = "0"

    proc/Update()
        if(num < 0) //if the meter is negative
            num = 0 //set it to zero
        else if(num > width) //if the meter is over 100%
            num = width //set it to 100%
        src.icon_state = "[round(src.num)]"


Problem description: Simply put, this isn't working. No icons are being shown. I am absolutely sure that each icon file contains icon states from 0 to 16, and, although I highly doubt it, the fact that the login proc is in a different file might be a factor in something. There are also no compilation errors.

Add this to the Login.
src.client.screen += new/obj/HUD // Define hub type path here

I tried that, as well. Didn't work.

mob/var/tmp/object/healthmeter/HM //define the health meter's location
mob/Login()
    ..()
    HM=new //create a new healthmeter and store it in HM
    WM.screen_loc="1,17"//set HM's screen loc (where it the co-ords it will appear on screen
    client.screen+=HM//add HM to the client's screen


Do something like that for all of the other meters, and you could probably add them to the player's statpanel too like this:

mob/Stat()
    WM.Update()
    stat(WM)


Having the meters appear in the statpanel is a good idea because it means that you can call the Update() proc and it'll affect the one on the client's screen as well.
