Code:
//transform into ssj2
                    if (usr:transformed == 2&&tInput == "Super Saiya-jin 2")
                        if(usr:maxPL >= ssj2PL)
                            usr:underlays += 'bl.dmi'
                            usr:underlays += 'br.dmi'
                            usr:underlays (locate(0,1,0))+= 'tl.dmi'
                            usr:underlays (locate(0,1,0))+= 'tr.dmi'
                            usr:overlays += /obj/elec
                            usr:transformed = 3
                            usr:currPL = round(((150/100) * usr:maxPL), 1)
                            usr:strength = round(((150/100) * usr:origStrength), 1)
                            usr:currKI = round(((150/100) * usr:maxKI), 1)
                            view() << "* <font color=green><strong>[usr]'s</strong> muscles begin to bulge, but becomes sluggish as they become Super Saiya-jin 2</font> *"
                        else
                            usr << "You are too weak to be Super Saiya-jin 2"
                    else if (usr:transformed != 2&&tInput == "Super Saiya-jin 2")
                        usr << "You must be Ultra Super Saiya-jin"
                        return


Problem description:The bit where it has usr:underlays (locate(0,1,0))+= 'tl.dmi'
usr:underlays (locate(0,1,0))+= 'tr.dmi'
is not working, when i test it the tr.dmi icon is just still on my guy, i want it to go above him

Ugh no usr in verb/proc and in pretty much everything but click/dblclick also don't use : just a normal fullstop is fine.

Well, how do i fix it?, it's getting annoying..

If it doesn't work, it has errors. They may not be compile-time errors, but they're still errors.

And how in the world does this not have compiler errors? It's rife with syntax gaffes. This shouldn't compile at all.

A few obvious things to fix:

  • locate(0,1,0) is not a real turf; it will always be null.
  • underlays is not a proc, so don't put something in parentheses right after it and expect it to work.
  • Avoid using the : operator at (practically) all costs. When you're working with a var like src or usr that already has the right type, this is a no-brainer. It's usr.underlays, not usr:underlays.

usr.underlays (locate(x,y+1,z))+= 'tl.dmi'
                            usr.underlays (locate(x,y+1,z))+= 'tr.dmi'<dm/>

is this getting better and could you point out what is wrong with the code?

                        if(usr:maxPL >= ssj2PL)

                            usr.underlays += 'br.dmi'
                            usr.underlays (loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y + 1,usr.z))+= 'tl.dmi'
                            usr.underlays (loc = locate(usr.x,usr.y + 1,usr.z))+= 'tr.dmi'
                            usr.overlays += /obj/elec
                            usr:transformed = 3
                            usr:currPL = round(((150/100) * usr:maxPL), 1)

                            usr:currKI = round(((150/100) * usr:maxKI), 1)
                            view() << "* <font color=green><strong>[usr]'s</strong> muscles begin to bulge, but becomes sluggish as they become Super Saiya-jin 2</font> *"
                        else
                            usr << "You are too weak to be Super Saiya-jin 2"
                    else if (usr:transformed != 2&&tInput == "Super Saiya-jin 2")
                        usr << "You must be Ultra Super Saiya-jin"
                        return


Is the underlays and stuff for the aura getting better, it still isn't working..

Again, underlays is not a proc. There is no underlays(blah) format that the compiler will recognize. How this is compiling for you at all when it's so very wrong is a mystery.

Can you just take my coding and try to fix it up, ive been trying this for hours..
