I can't seem to get this to function properly:

obj/Say
    icon = 'say.png'
    layer = MOB_LAYER + 1//appears above mobs
    Click()
        var/T = input("Say what?")as null|text//Works as a say verb
        if(!T)//If there's no text
            return//Stops the proc
        else
            world << "[usr]:  [T]" 
    New(client/C)
        screen_loc = "1,10,1"
        C.screen+=src


By "function properly", I mean it doesn't show up.

There is no Z coordinate in screen_loc.

Doesn't work, still. This is the new code:

obj/Say
    icon = 'say.png'
    layer = MOB_LAYER + 1//appears above mobs
    Click()
        var/T = input("Say what?")as null|text//Works as a say verb
        if(!T)//If there's no text
            return//Stops the proc
        else
            world << "[usr]:  [T]"
    New(client/C)
        screen_loc = "1,10"
        C.screen+=src

Is New getting called correctly, with the client argument?

Did you forget to call it like...
client/New()
..()
new/obj/Say(src)

You have to make sure you have something like this in your code:

client
New()
..()
var/obj/Say = new(src)

Still doesn't work.

obj/Say
    icon = 'say.png'
    layer = MOB_LAYER + 1//appears above mobs
    Click()
        var/T = input("Say what?")as null|text//Works as a say verb
        if(!T)//If there's no text
            return//Stops the proc
        else
            world << "[usr]:  [T]"
    client
        New()
            ..()
            var/obj/Say = new(src)
            screen_loc = "1,10"

This is what you want. You need to override New() for clients and the obj.
obj/Say
    icon = 'say.png'
    layer = MOB_LAYER + 1//appears above mobs
    Click()
        var/T = input("Say what?")as null|text//Works as a say verb
        if(!T)//If there's no text
            return//Stops the proc
        else
            world << "[usr]:  [T]"

         New(client/C)
           ..()
           screen_loc = "1,10"
           C.screen += src

client/New()
   ..()
   new/obj/Say(src)

Because you're still creating /obj/Say instead of an /obj/Say/client, the New() proc is now not being called at all.
What you should really do is make /obj/Say a subset of a special type for screen objects:
obj/screen
  var/client/owner
  layer=MOB_LAYER+1

  New(client/C)
    owner=C
    if(C) C.screen+=src

  Del()
    if(owner) owner.screen-=src
    ..()

obj/screen/Say
  icon='say.png'
  screen_loc="1,10"

  Click()
    usr.Say()

mob
  var/isadmin
  var/ismute

  verb/Say(msg as text)
    if(!msg)
      msg=input("What do you want to say?","Say") as null|text
      if(!msg) return
    if(!isadmin)
      if(ismute || SpamCheck(msg)) return
    // don't forget html_encode() no matter what else you do
    // because people *will* abuse HTML if they can
    world << "<B>[usr]:</B> [html_encode(msg)]"

Erm, still doesn't work. I have to remove SpamCheck because I don't have it.

obj/screen
  var/client/owner
  layer=MOB_LAYER+1

  New(client/C)
    owner=C
    if(C) C.screen+=src

  Del()
    if(owner) owner.screen-=src
    ..()

obj/screen/Say
  icon='say.png'
  screen_loc="1,10"

  Click()
    usr.Say()

mob
  var/isadmin
  var/ismute

  verb/Say(msg as text)
    if(!msg)
      msg=input("What do you want to say?","Say") as null|text
      if(!msg) return
    if(!isadmin)
    // don't forget html_encode() no matter what else you do
    // because people *will* abuse HTML if they can
    world << "<B>[usr]:</B> [html_encode(msg)]"

Tenkuu's code worked.

It was identical to mine. Why you wanted to indent the client.New() proc under your say object is beyond me.

lmao. It was a mistake. I'm kinda new to HUD, so bear with me. (No, I do NOT mean put a bear in my computer!)
