Hello everyone. I would really like to know how to create a code that works like..

You login and choose out of two races, alien or marine. Then when you choose that race, you spawn and an avatar spawns on the screen on the lower left corner of the screen, say "1,2". If you know how, i'd appreciate it. Thanks!

Well, first, let's set everything up:
mob
    var/avatar//A reference to the avatar for future use.

Avatar
    screen_loc="1,2"

    Marine
        icon='Marine.dmi'
    Alien
        icon='Alien.dmi'

    proc/Create(mob/M,Race)
        if(Race=="Alien")
            new/Avatar/Alien()
        else
            new/Avatar/Marine()
        M.avatar=src
        M.client.screen+=src


That should get you going :)
