Hi,i want to know how to make pics on the screen while you are playing {ex. health bars on screen). But i lost my old code and i forgot how i did it.

I want to make this icon(icon = 'screen objs.dmi',iconstate = "inv") show on the screen. (and maybe later i might need a code to put the gun icon in the inv)

client
  var/obj/ScrObj
  New()
    . = ..()
    ScrObj = new
    ScrObj.icon = icon(icon = 'screen objs.dmi',iconstate = "inv")
    ScrObj.screen_loc = "1,1"
    screen += ScrObj


Create the objects, assign a screen_loc, and add to client.screen.

If you don't set the object to "new" right away, it will be null untill you do set it to something else.
