Um, question. Is there a proc to add an item from map, to screen in the same location?

This sounds strange i'm sure, but I want to use oview or view to paint something on the client.screen.

Edit:
I meant object/obj, not item. Forgive me, tired.

Find the difference in x and y from the position of the client's mob and the obj. Then convert that to a screen_loc (somewhere between 1,1 and view,view). It may take a few tries but it is pretty simple. Do you want the actual obj in the client's screen or a copy of it?

Actual object.

And i'm definitely getting the hang at programming, i'm just very poor at math. I'm sure i'll get it eventually.

I misposted.

I meant, I want to paint one on every spot in oview.

You see, when the player uses a skill, I want a blue see-through square to appear at every tile in range.

Edit:
To show range.
