i have a quick question. how do i get a percent of 2 numbers? IE if you have 593 hp and your max hp is 978, how would i figure out the percent of hp the character has?

That'd be 593/978*100. To display a percent, try this:
stat("Health", "[round(100*HP/maxHP)]%"

well this update hud proc only works when yer hp is 3...any ideas?

mob
    proc/Update(mob/M as mob)
        for(var/obj/hpmeter/HPnum in M.client.screen)
            HPnum.num = round(100*usr.HP/usr.MHP)
            HPnum.Update()
    var
        obj/hpmeter/HPmeter

You need to show us your hp meter's update proc. On the other hand, you should never use usr in procs. You also don't need to pass an argument if src is the only information you ever need. (Which I assume it is, since an update proc usually updates the player's hud)

Sorry, my brother isn't all that good at coding. Bare with him...He seems to think he can put usr in procs...he does it all the time...

He can use usr in procs (atleast with your meaning, in procs that usr shouldn't be used in), but I doubt anyone has taken the time to link him to an explination as to why he shouldn't, or explain the reason themselves.
