obj
   Delete
      Click()
         if(owner) del owner
         del src


This is a fairly simple concept of a delete button i'm trying to create, simple enough right? Well, is there any way possible to get this object only showing to a certain mob while having the actual obj hover upon another thing(This thing will be moving)?

/image is the answer, my friend.

I tried that and /image doesn't seem to want to be clicked :(

Of course. Clicking the image would be like clicking on the atom where you placed it.

If I get what you are trying to do correctly, I'll do something like..
object/Delete
    icon = null
    var/tmp/image/image
    proc
        Show(mob)
            if(!image)
                image = new(icon='icon.dmi',loc=src,layer=FLOAT_LAYER)
            mob << image
        Click()
            if(owner) del owner
            del src

An /image is nothing more than a graphical extension of what it is attached to. If you attach it to an instance of /MyObj, /MyObj's Click() is called when you click the image.

If I correctly understand what you're asking, then, if you want to delete object X, you need to implement either an /image attached to it and use X's Click(), or you need to make a seperate object and just keep moving it when X moves, and always keep it moved just above X.
