where I click a button to set the hair color then I click the button of the Hair style so when i login it gives me the overlay of the colored hair

    var/list/Hairs=list("Spiked"='hair.dmi',"Short"='hair2.dmi')
    var/hairChoice = input("Witch hair","hair type") in Hairs
    var/color=input("Please select a color.") as color
    var/hairer = Hairs[hairChoice]
    hairer += color
    usr.hair= hairer
    usr.overlays+= usr.hair

Correct me if wrong but it does exactly what you asked.

It's not very difficult to go from that to buttons. If you know how buttons work then it should take you 2 minutes.

For my two cents, I've always hated additive color. I'd much rather have either two icons--one for the color shades and one for the highlights--or a single icon that can be split via MapColors() for the same purpose.

The shading icon is shades of white and gray, that gets multiplied by the color, and then highlights are added after. As a bonus, if you strictly use a shading icon, you can just use atom.color and be done with it, no icon manipulation required. As a further bonus, you could add an overlay with atom.blend_mode = BLEND_ADD to use highlights and still avoid icon manipulation.

The question is, what do you want the UI to look like and what do you want to happen, step-by-step?

I don't know what all the fuss is
For a simple solution exists
An input mode
Written in code
Is enough to get you in biz

var/colour = input("What colour do you want") as color


No fussing about with adding
Such efforts are simply for badding
It's easier to show
Colours we all know
Which to players is certainly gladdening

I have no idea why you're displeased
I gave you the solution, not teased
The button you'll click
The colour you'll pick
Nary a qualm's not been ceased.

*facepalms* All I need is the code for how do I make it so when a press a button it'll set a var to a hairstyle so I can apply the color to it

If you have a button for each hairstyle, it'd be as simple as having a single hairstyle verb that takes a number or a string, then updating accordingly.

mob/var/hairoverlay
mob/var/hairstyle
mob/var/haircolor

mob/proc/RefreshHair()
    // build the overlay, color it, etc.
    ...

mob/verb/HairStyle(style as text)
    hairstyle = style
    RefreshHair()

I left you the code 2 posts ago
Is it that hard to read my post, yo?
This is a bother,
YOU INPUT A COLOR
Zip zip, you're ready to go
Jul 6 2015, 5:18 pm
so for the refresh hair it should be
if(hairstyle=="style1")
icon='hair1.dmi'

like that i think part im stuck at is how do I put the icon part properly to be assigned to w/e selected

Lugia319 is both a developer and a rapper. Any who, this solution is what you want, at least at the most basic and simplest level. If you want to get fancy, I suggest you follow Lummox JR's example. Message me if you are still having issues.
