Well, for starters, you can look ep Enter(). You are using it way wrong. Then, you can look up Entered() and figure out how to use that. It's what you need. And remember to call ..() after you change the icon.

You need to define whose icon_state has to change. If you want the castle's icon_state to change you need <code>src.icon_state="whatever"</code>.

If you want the mob's icon_state to change you need <code>usr.icon_s----</code> - Hold it! Bzzzt, unrobust code!

turf/someturf
    Enter()
        usr<<"entered!"

...is wrong. Don't use usr in Enter(), you need something more robust. Like:
turf/someturf
    Enter(mob/M)
        if(!ismob(M))return 0
        M<<"entered in a robust way!"



...So if you want the mob's icon_state to change, use <code>M.icon_state=""</code>.
