[Edit]
Heh, I fixed the bit where it needed to be var/mob/owner... And I also took out the DM tags so it would wrap my lengthy comments instead of stretching out the post...lol [/Edit] I had this same problem with the HUD in DBTC... It worked fine for single player, but in multi, it went all to pieces...lol The way I handled it was to give each screen object a variable that I called "Owner"... And when you create the object and add it to the player's client.screen, set it's Owner variable to the player... That way, each player gets a unique instance of the screen object, and their objects are tied directly to them through that variable... Then, in whatever proc you have to update the objects, use their Owner var in place of the mob references... Here's what I mean (using your code): obj/hud/expBarvar/mob/Owner icon = 'xpm.dmi' // I removed all references to the client from the object's New() proc... I prefer to do all of that business in Login()... procUpdate() for(var/obj/hud/expBar/H in Owner.client.screen) // And here, I also removed the need for references to the client... The object's Owner var points directly to the player whose client.screen this object is in... So this object only uses that particular mob's stats... mobsrc.client.screen += E E.Owner = src // As I said above, I moved all screen adding and object creation and assigning of the Owner variable to the mob Login() proc... I think this just makes it easier to use with the system I'm explaining... Hope that helps! (of course, you'll probably have to tweak it a bit to get it to work for your game... but the methods I've shown work perfectly for DBTC in both single and multiplayer... |

Hey thanks, Good idea...btw i get three errors, all saying owner is not defined
obj/hud/expBar well those erros dissapear when i put: proc/Update(mob/owner) But im not to sure if that will work... :-| [#1edit] Ok i just tried it and got a million errors, No thats not the way..[/#1edit] [#2edit] Any one help me? [/#2edit] |

On the second line of the code you posted, change var/owner to var/mob/owner
|
In response to Crispy

Ah, yeah, good catch...
"My bad"...lol The compiler needs to know that the "owner" var is a mob in order for it to be used to call things like "owner.client.screen" and such... I just forgot to put it in...lol |

The owner var must be set to null for some reason. Does it get changed anywhere else in the code? Maybe you created a HUD object in a different piece of code and forgot to set the owner var?

we can't really help much without seeing a piece of the code where you think the problem may be. unless you want some generic advice like, go check the demos and reference.
