i have this BIG proc:
Wardrobe()
    var/Ward = list("Pants" , "Shoes" , "Shirts" , 
"Coats", "Shorts")
    var/Drobe = input(usr,"Clothes" ,"Choose a Clothing Category") in Ward
    switch (Drobe)
        if ("Pants")
            if(usr.Pants == null)
                var/pan = list("Red" , "Blue" , "White" , "Black", "Green", "Orange")
                var/ts = input(usr,"Pants" ,"Choose a Pants Color") in pan
                    switch (ts)
                        if ("Red")
                        src.overlays += /obj/Clothes/Red_Pants
                                src.Pants = 1
                        if ("Blue")
                                usr.overlays += /obj/Clothes/Blue_Pants
                                usr.Pants = 1
        
            else
                usr << "You are already wearing Pants"

it doesnt add the overlay, infact it adds an underlay, and i`ve tried usr.underlays += \obj\Clothes\Red_Pants
and it doesnt work *sigh*

P.s. It Was BIG but i choped out the other parts that wernt even being used so that it wasnt so big, but i left big in there because it is a big feature of my game

What works for me is using seperate DMI's for OVERlays. Takes room, but works.

I got it, I had put them on special layers like the helpfile said to do

Big proc? Try my chat verb, which currently takes up three pages of text. Lots of text parsing going on there! copytext() is your best friend.
