Code:
mob/NPC
    Tutorial_Helper
        var/r;var/g;var/b;var/mod=0.5
        name="Tutorial Helper";NPC=1
        New()
            CreateName()
            var/Body=rand(1,2)
            if(Body==1)  usr.icon='BaseWhite.dmi'
            if(Body==2) usr.icon='BaseBrown.dmi'
            r=rand(0,255);g=rand(0,255);b=rand(0,255);usr.HR=round(src.r*mod);usr.HB=round(src.b*mod);usr.HG=round(src.g*mod);src.HairStyle=rand(1,3);src.Load_Overlays()


Problem description:
I didn't know what to post for the "Code:", so I just posted that . But anyways, no matter what I do I can't get the text for the NPC to show up. I'm using LummoxJr's DMIFont's library .

I think you are misunderstanding what usr is. You should look it up in the reference. What you really want here is src, which is the "source" object.

Also:

Even if I use src, it won't work :/

What does your Load_Overlays() process do? Is there any chance it's removing the name overlay?

I removed Load_Overlays, and It still didn't work . Load_Overlays just loads the users overlays basicly .

You should post the CreateName() proc where the text is being created. Since you're also loading the overlays, I wonder if you're clearing the overlays list after creating the name, which would explain the text not showing up; in that case moving CreateName() to the end of this routine would be the way to go.
