Code:
mob
    proc
        menu_background(var/x1,var/y1,var/x2,var/y2)
            for(var/xx = x1, xx <= x2, x++)
                for(var/yy = y1, yy <= y2, y++)
                    var/obj/HUD/Background/M = new(client)
                    if(xx == x1)
                        M.icon_state = "left"
                    if(xx == x2)
                        M.icon_state = "right"
                    if(yy == y1)
                        M.icon_state = "lower"
                    if(yy == y2)
                        M.icon_state = "upper"
                    if(xx == x1 && yy == y1)
                        M.icon_state = "ll"
                    if(xx == x2 && yy == y2)
                        M.icon_state = "ur"
                    if(xx == x1 && yy == y2)
                        M.icon_state = "ul"
                    if(xx == x2 && yy == y1)
                        M.icon_state = "lr"
                    M.screen_loc = "[xx],[yy]"

obj
    HUD
        Background
            icon = 'Menu.dmi'
            New(client/C)
                C.screen += src
            layer = MOB_LAYER+2


Problem description:
In runtime I get an error saying atht it can not execute null.New(), and an infinite loop.

I'm not sure why you'd be seeing null.New() issues unless the infinite loop itself is to blame, but you do have two infinite loops. That should be xx++ and yy++ instead of x++ and y++.

In response to Lummox JR
Now that I see it it looks so obvious. It's always the small things that I don't really take into account, thanks Lummox JR. :D
