What am I doing wrong? No HP Bar shows up on the screen.
obj/HUD/HP_Bar
    icon='HPbar.dmi'
    pixel_y=6
    layer=5

mob
    New()
        ..()
        var/obj/HUD/HP_Bar/HBAR = new
        HBAR.name="[name]"
        overlays+=HBAR

Perhaps this would work:

obj/HUD/HP_Bar
    icon='HPbar.dmi'
    pixel_y=6
    layer=5

mob
    New()
        ..()
        var/obj/HUD/HP_Bar/HBAR = new
        HBAR.name="[src.name]"
        src.overlays+=HBAR


Note i said PERHAPS.

No, it doesn't show up on the screen. You didn't ever tell it to show up on the screen. At the moment, it's being created in null, so you don't see it. If you want to add it to client.screen, or to a spot on the map, you'd have to put that in.

In response to Jon88
I believe he wants it as an overlay which does make it show up on the screen.
