How do I add graphics to my hud? Something like a stone effect.

How do I make my character move on the map? I can't move at all when I try playing my game.

How would I add an inventory box? (This one isn't as important as the other two.)

Thanks in advance.

In your main window or whatever panes you're using, use a stone image as a background. You can edit the window's properties in the skin editor, and then select Tile for the image mode.

How do I make my character move on the map? I can't move at all when I try playing my game.

Skins you create should have a default set of macros to use, but if your window doesn't know about them, it won't use them. Edit your main window and change the macro ID to whatever your macros are called. (In a default skin, it's just "macro".)

How would I add an inventory box? (This one isn't as important as the other two.)

You can add an Info control for a standard statpanel, but you can also add a Grid and just update it as needed.

Q. How do I add graphics to my hud? Something like a stone effect.

A #1. To Add imaged to Skins, the images need to be in the Skins folder, ie:
BYOND/Skins/BYOND (Default Skin), Then u just find the path to the image and load it into the Skin,

A #2. To Add Images to BYOND HUB Pages, u go into your game hub page and u have 3 options, 16x16, 32x32 and 250x60 u upload images there.
To get to this spot fallow this path.
Games.byond.com >> Your Account (Login) >> Your Hub >> *Game*
Loads of text boxes appeare scroll down and u'll see 3 input bars with "Browse" next to them and those number, upload image and you have HUB images

Q. How do I make my character move on the map? I can't move at all when I try playing my game.

A. There are many ways to do Movement so i suggest u go to http://developer.byond.com and search move(), as movement is a proc, also read the DM Guide and search it there to understand it somewhat, Downloading demos and Libraries will help u understand things, Also visit the Developers Fourm manypeople will help you there

Q. How would I add an inventory box? (This one isn't as important as the other two.)

A #1.
mob
Stat()
statpanel("Inventory")
stat(contents)

A #2. Again there are many Libraries on inventories and how to do them, your best option is to download some of the libs and learn from them

[ Note ]
i hope this was useful for you. if u have anyproblems visit the Byond Developers Gourm and go to Developer How-To / Code Problems. but my advise is to use the "Search" and see if there is already something on them befor eu ask ur question, and most times someones already asked it

Some of this might not be what u needed, Lummox JR: post is most likely what u wanted to know. if its only Skin wise.
