You'll want to modify the New() function, which gets called when something is created. In this New() function, you'll want to assign the icon to a randomly selected icon file. Look up the pick() proc in the DM Reference(can be found on this site or by pressing F1 in Dream Maker).

What New() function?

What pick() proc?

What the heck are you talking about?

That won't work.

1. You're not supposed to control it.
2. That would change YOUR icon.

Yes, I'm very enthusiastic to start searching every one of those for my code snippet.

When the wall is built, it will choose a random one of two icons.

As for your statement, you've completely mistaken the concept of programming. You don't pull in code snippets from as many resources as possible. You learn how to program, and you make your own snippets for yourself. The DM Guide will teach you how to program.

I'm less enthusiastic to help someone who's looking for people to spoon-feed him code than you are to read that. However, I am very enthusiastic to try and get you to learn how to program properly.

I don't see what talking to furniture has to do with what I'm asking about.

Anyway, I'm gonna try something out.

Now we're in the same boat. I don't see how the post at [link] has anything to do with the one at [link], which is the post you replied to. The point of that was to point out how you should make some effort to reply to the posts you are responding to.

Anyway, I'm gonna try something out.

I surely hope this 'something' is to try and learn the programming language, the correct way.

I was replying to both your posts.

Sorry. This 'something' is going to be snippiting.

But the post you actually replied to was your own.

Well, I pity you, then. You won't get very far doing that.
