In response to Kryu
you need to add the hud object to the users client screen.

this is done by :

usr.client.screen += new/obj/hud


If you add this code to your character creation or wherever you feel for it, the hud will show on the screen.

im sure there are other, better ways to do this. but this is the way that i used.

example:

obj
    hud
        name = "hud"
        icon = 'hud.dmi'
        icon_state = "hud1"
        screen_loc = "1,4"
        layer = MOB_LAYER+100
//above is the hud example
//below is the character creation example       
        
client
    proc
        create_character()
            var/mob/newmob      
            switch(input("What race would you like to be?","race")in list("Human")
                if("Human")
                    newmob.race = "Human"
                    newmob.str = 5
                    newmob.def = 5
                    newmob.atk = 5
                    newmob.client.screen += new/obj/hud // this will add the hud to the users client screen.


Hope this helps

Nomatter what the layer is if u want to put this in the hud just put as this
obj
    hud
        icon='turf.dmi'
        icon_state="grass"
        screen_loc="2,2"

Be careful when messing around with atom/New(). (In this case obj/New()) The first variable should always be the location. In this case, that may lead to something unexpected, like the HUB item appearing in the inventory.
If you're going to change New() like that, I'd define it as
obj
    hud
        icon='turf.dmi'
        icon_state="grass"
        screen_loc="2,2"
        New(loc,mob/M)
          screen_loc="2,2"
          M.client_screen+=src


I may be wrong too, but it's given me trouble in the past.

you could also do it like this

client/New()
    new /obj/Say(src)//Creates the Say Hud
    ..() // Continues with the script (used for not getting a connection died)

obj/Say//The actual Say Hud
    icon = 'Hud.dmi'
    icon_state = "Say Button"
    screen_loc = "2,1"//Tells where the XY are
    Click()//When you click it, it does its action..
        usr<<"You have clicked on the Say Button!"
        //  /\ Wow you clicked the Hud Button!
    New(client/C)
        C.screen+=src//Add it to your screen


this is a demo by flame sage

You're correct. With atoms, new() will automatically put the object in the first argument - it's used for the object's location, so if you put a mob there, the object will end up inside the mob's contents. Most people just directly use the client instead as the mob isn't needed, and if you pass something that isn't a location (like a client) as the first argument, it won't put the object anywhere and will essentially do nothing in that regard.
