there really isn't a problem here I just want to know if anyone can help me figure out how to make the bar follow the person. Sorry I also didn't have very much time so I couldn't figure out the dm thing.
client
    New()
        ..()
        new/obj/healthbar(src) 

obj
    healthbar
        icon = 'life meeter.dmi'
        icon_state = "100%"
        New(client/C)
            screen_loc="1,11"
            C.screen+=src


thank you,

I use overlays, it's an easy solution to this. Just create a new overlay for the client when they log onto a mob. In your update procedure, simply remove the overlay (don't delete it), update the icon_state, and add it back to the mob.
