I have an obj that only the user can see, but when clicked, nothing happens. Here is the code:

obj
    option1
        var/img
        New(l,mob/M)
            ..()
            var/mylocx5 = usr.x+3
            var/mylocy5 = usr.y+1
            img=image ('menu.dmi',locate(mylocx5,mylocy5,usr.z),"color",2)
            M << img
    
        Del()
            if(img) del(img)
    
        Click()
            var/color = input("What color do you want to be?") in list ("Blue","Yellow")
            usr.icon_state = color


Although this gives away what my demo is about, I still need to finish it.

Also, i create the obj like this: 
 new/obj/option1(mylocx5,mylocy5,usr.z)


Thanks,

This is the problem. You'll notice the source I presented attaches img to the object itself (src), not to the same location. You're attaching the image to the turf, not the object, so the object is useless; since the image is located in the turf, the turf receives the Click() proc.
img=image (icon='menu.dmi',loc=src,icon_state="color",layer=2)

By attaching the image to an object, the object can be made unique for each player and can be given a name that doesn't match the turf around it. (The object's name will show when you mouseover the image.)

I would avoid using usr in the object creation process unless there's some particular reason that's better. Since you have M available, if you want this interface to be for M, use M.x, M.y, and M.z instead for the obj's location. But the image should be located in the obj; otherwise the obj is useless.

I`m having the same problem,

    var/attack = image (/obj/Attack,locate(25,30,3),,5)
    usr << attack

I make the obj like this:

obj/Attack
    icon = 'chip2.dmi'
    icon_state = "Attack"
    Click()
        usr << "It worked."


I cant for the life of me, figure out wht its not working

You don't specify which is the location of the image: /obj/Attack (which is just a type, not an actual object, until you use "new"), or the turf returned by locate(). What I think you want is something more like this:
var/attack = image (loc=new /obj/Attack(locate(25,30,3)),icon='attack.dmi',layer=5)

that kinda works, but it shows it to everyone, and its only clickable when i use the code you gave me,

I dont see what the problem is, if i could show only one object to a certain player i could do that

ugh

The only way it could be shown to everyone would be if you gave the object an icon, which you're not supposed to do in this case.
