I am having a problem with my HUD... Both Leftley and RaeKwon, so far has tried to help but not really solved my problem.

So, here goes.

I have my HUD coded as follows:

> obj/HUD
>   say
>       layer = MOB_LAYER + 100
>       icon = 'HUD.dmi'
>       normal
>           icon_state = "Say"
>           Click()
>               icon_state = "Say Over"
>               var/T = input("Say")as null|text
>               if(!T)
>                   return
>               else
>                   view(6) << "[usr] says: [html_encode(T)]"
>               sleep(50)
>               icon_state = "Say"
> 
>           New(client/C)
>               screen_loc = "1,1"
>               C.screen += src
> 
> 
> Client/New()
>   ..()
>   new/obj/HUD/say(src)
>

I login to my game and the HUD is not displayed at all. Leftley sugesting lowering the MOB_LAYER, so I did. As to my surprise, the problem is still there.

RaeKwon told me that only one Client/New() is aloud in a game. So he asked if I used Deadrons characterhandling as he said that had one. So, in turn. I took out the Client/New() in my coding and embedded the 'new/obj/HUD/say' into Deadrons Client/New(). Still the problem occurs.

So I ask of all who is out there or even one of you who knows anything about HUDs, please, could you lend me a helping hand?

Lee! How could you miss it!

The obj is being added because you have the wrong type, you have a directory after say going normal so it should be,

client/New()
new/obj/HUD/say/normal(src)
..()

That should relieve of problems!
