Finding Mouse Location

I've finally learned how to make HUDs so now im working on a HUD that you can move things around simply by clicking and dragging, and i've made this...

obj
MouseDrag(over_object,src_location,over_location)
var/turf/a = over_location
var/mob/b = over_location
var/obj/c = over_location
src.screen_loc = "[a.x],[a.y]"
src.screen_loc = "[b.x],[b.y]"
src.screen_loc = "[c.x],[c.y]"

The problem is that takes the turf, mob, or objs loc and make it its on the screen, i'll work on making it only work for the HUD later but what i need to move it around is finding the mouses location on the screen. How would I do that? maybe sumthing like var/client/a = mouse.loc?

You don't need MouseDrag(), what you want is MouseDrop().

And the argument you want is over_location.

When you drop something(MOUSEDROP()), the over_location argument has the location of the Mouse.

However, if you're using MouseDrop() on an interface control, the argument you want is over_control.

Probably because of the layer var ? Have you increased it on the obj ?

nope this is what the code is

obj
MouseDrop(over_object,src_location,over_location)
src.screen_loc = over_location

Hmm.......
I didn't comply or anything, But this sounds like it'll work:
HUD
    parent_type = /obj/
    icon = 'You know, that one icon thing'
    MouseDrop(what,where)
        if(src in usr.client.screen)
            src.loc = where
        else
            return

Hope it works!

it didn't do anything but it may be since i changed somethings

this is what it is now

HUD
parent_type = /obj/
icon='meter3_02.dmi'
icon_state="0"
New(client/c)
screen_loc="6,11"
c.screen+=src
MouseDrop(what,where)
if(src in usr.client.screen)
src.loc = where
else
return

Does it drag now?
If not, Give up and use Crispy's HUD moving demo.
