Random cool procs

This will display a full-screen HUD. It works only with imported files (unless you set the icon states yourself... good luck). Make sure the imported file is the correct size in pixels to match your screen size.

Usage:
mob.CreateHUD('login.dmi',50) // 2 seconds


Proc:
mob
proc
CreateHUD(nicon, delay)
var/size = world.view * 2
size += 1 // size++ *shrug*
for(var/I=0,I<size,I++)
for(var/U=0,U<size,U++)
var/obj/screen/A = new /obj/screen/login(src.client)
A.screen_loc = "[I+1],[U+1]"
A.icon = nicon
A.icon_state = "[I],[U]"
src.client.screen += A
sleep(delay) // change to spawn(delay) and format tabs if you wish this proc to return immediately
for(var/obj/screen/login/A in src.client.screen)
del(A)


Not big enough to waste hub space on.

Actually, that'd be 5 seconds, because it measures in 1/10 of a second. :P

Anyway, the point of this post is to let you know this probably should have went in Creations.

You suck.

Yeah, you're right about that. I had originally put 20, and decided that was a bit short for a login screen, so I changed it. Guess I forgot the comment. Was doing it all quickly. Also, you should use client view instead, since world view isn't always the same. The proc doesn't work with "11x13" view sizes and the like, so you'd have to adjust that yourself.

Hmmm, I was about to post something like, "It's not like the forum descriptions label one explicitly as being for code snippets...", but then I checked, and found out, hey it does. Thank goodness for fact-checking. Now no one will ever know I was in error! HAHAHAHAH.... er, oops.

A couple of procs that might be of assistance:
client/proc
    sd_ScreenHeight()
        if(istext(view))
            return text2num(copytext(view,findtext(view,"x")+1,0))
        else
            return view * 2 + 1

    sd_ScreenWidth()
        if(istext(view))
            return text2num(view)
        else
            return view * 2 + 1

Heh, I was going to post something similar:
client
    proc
        xo_get_screen_dim(var/dimension)
            var/client_view_x
            var/client_view_y
            
            if(istext(view))
                var/x_pos = findtext(view,"x")
                client_view_x = round((text2num(copytext(view,1,x_pos))-1)/2)
                client_view_y = round((text2num(copytext(view,x_pos+1))-1)/2)
            else
                client_view_x = view
                client_view_y = view
                
            if(cmptext(dimension,"x")) return client_view_x
            else if(cmptext(dimension,"y")) return client_view_y
            else return list(client_view_x, client_view_y)

Of course, yours looks nicer.
