Hey,
Now i think this might be a little hard for me to explain but ill try the best i can. What i want to learn is how to make a label with the statistics of the User inside it, i worked out one way which is by using:
mob/Login(){src << ouput("Stats go here..","Label1")}


But i was wondering if there is a more appropiate way which is easier to actually layout several stats..together in one label

If you do it like that, it will only output it once, therefore they will never be updated.

If you want to display several stats, a grid would be better to use.

Hey, Andre, I see that you're being active here in the forum. :)

Well guyz what ive done is:

I used the output method and made a proc which updates all my labels in side this Parent label, so everytime a stat changing action has taken place ill call this proc to update everything

If you want to put several stats, as Jemai said, a grid is better.

However if you're still with the idea of keeping the labels, they seem fine like that to me. ( With the proc updating them )

You can use the output proc to set labels?

I would use the winset proc to edit a label. You might try something like this (if you really need to use labels instead of grids):
/mob/proc/UpdateStats()
  winset(src, "Label1", "text=\"HP: [hp]\n Experience: [exp]")

/mob/Login()
  UpdateStats()
  return ..()

/mob/TakeDamage(amt)
  hp-=amt
  deathcheck()
  UpdateStats()

Just call UpdateStats() whenever something changes.

Umm... Im doing the same thing with the output. I have another question. Is it possible to show the users icon inside a label e.g in statpanels its quite easy 
stat(src)
but im not sure how to set an image but if we could it could easily be updated through mob/Move() function but how do i set the image in the first place and remember im talking about setting it inside a label.

Labels have an image attribute, see the Skin Reference.
