So, I've made a world with the icon size at 16x16. The view is `6x6, which leads 96px in both length and width. I've made a HUD icon in this dimension and was wondering how I could place it on the screen. I've been gone from byond for so long I've forgotten how to do this :x.

Thanks in advance~

First you define the HUD object and its screen_loc, then you add it to client's screen.

obj/LetterN
    icon = 'N.dmi'
    screen_loc = "9,8"    // Look in the Reference if you need help with this one


mob/Login()
    ..()
    var/obj/HuD1 = new /obj/LetterN      // Define the object
    src.client.screen += HuD1       // Add it to client's screen

Aha, had to change the screen_loc, but that worked. Thanks for the swift reply :D
