ok i got how to get overlays but now when i equipt one thing its over another. But if i unequipt armor and then reequipt it then the weapon is under the armor... ill show u how i have them done.

Ice_Sword
icon='Swords.dmi'
icon_state="Ice"
verb
Get_Item()
set src in oview(1)
src.loc = usr//user gets the object
view() << "[usr] picks up the [src]"//message desplayed
Drop_Item()
set src in usr
src.loc = usr.loc
view() << "[usr] drops the [src]"
Equip()
if(usr.equiped == 0)
usr.attack += 25
usr.equiped = 1
usr.overlays += icon('Swords.dmi', "IS")

usr << "You equip [src]"
src.suffix = "Equipped"
else
usr << "You already have something equipped..."

Un_Equip()
if(usr.equiped == 1)
usr.attack -= 25
usr.equiped = 0
usr.overlays -= icon('Swords.dmi', "IS")

usr << "You unequip [src]."
src.suffix = ""
else
usr << "You dont have anything equiped..."

thats the weapon and here is the armor


Water_Armour
icon='Clothing.dmi'
icon_state="waterarmour"
verb
Get_Item()
set src in oview(1)
src.loc = usr//user gets the object
view() << "[usr] picks up the [src]"//message desplayed
Drop_Item()
set src in usr
src.loc = usr.loc
view() << "[usr] drops the [src]"
Equip()
if(usr.armour == 0)
usr.defense += 4
usr.armour = 1
usr.overlays += icon('Clothing.dmi', "WA")
usr << "You equip [src]"
src.suffix = "Equipped"

else
usr << "You already have something equipped..."

Un_Equip()
if(usr.armour == 1)
usr.defense -= 4
usr.armour = 0
usr.overlays -= icon('Clothing.dmi', "WA")
usr << "You unequip [src]."
src.suffix = ""
else
usr << "You dont have anything equiped..."

i used usr.overlays += icon('Clothing.dmi', "WA") for both i know i need to get weapons and armor on seperate laysers. but how?

First, put your code in dm tags.

Use the image function instead of the icon function, as image has a parameter for layer.

DM tags are

layer
layer = MOB_LAYER+2 // remember to layer in order +2, +3,etc

overlays += image('icon.dmi', ,"icon state", layer number here)

is it like this overlays += image('icon.dmi',,"icon state", layer 1)


or do i just set a number there like this

overlays += image('icon.dmi',,icon state", 1)

?

ok that worked but i got a new problem now.... when i go to unequipt the icon is still there..... what now?

this is what i have...

Water_Armour
icon='Clothing.dmi'
icon_state="waterarmour"
verb
Get_Item()
set src in oview(1)
src.loc = usr//user gets the object
view() << "[usr] picks up the [src]"//message desplayed
Drop_Item()
set src in usr
src.loc = usr.loc
view() << "[usr] drops the [src]"
Equip()
if(usr.armour == 0)
usr.defense += 4
usr.armour = 1
usr.overlays += image('Clothing.dmi',"WA",-2)
usr << "You equip [src]"
src.suffix = "Equipped"

else
usr << "You already have something equipped..."

Un_Equip()
if(usr.armour == 1)
usr.defense -= 4
usr.armour = 0
usr.overlays -= image('Clothing.dmi',"WA")
usr << "You unequip [src]."
src.suffix = ""
else
usr << "You dont have anything equiped..."

and the weapon

Wind_Sword
icon='Swords.dmi'
icon_state="Wind"
verb
Get_Item()
set src in oview(1)
src.loc = usr//user gets the object
view() << "[usr] picks up the [src]"//message desplayed
Drop_Item()
set src in usr
src.loc = usr.loc
view() << "[usr] drops the [src]"
Equip()
if(usr.equiped == 0)
usr.attack += 125
usr.equiped = 1
usr.overlays += image('Swords.dmi',"Ws",-1)
layer = MOB_LAYER+2
usr << "You equip [src]"
src.suffix = "Equipped"
else
usr << "You already have something equipped..."

Un_Equip()
if(usr.equiped == 1)
usr.attack -= 125
usr.equiped = 0
usr.overlays -= image("Swords.dmi","WS",1)
usr << "You unequip [src]."
src.suffix = ""

else
usr << "You dont have anything equiped..."

how do i make it so it overlay is removed while i unequipt it?

Try saving the image to a variable instead and then subtract that variable from the overlays list.
mob
    var
        image/armor_overlay
    proc
        some_function()
            //stuff and more stuff here, then...
            armor_overlay = image('icon.dmi', ,"icon state", layer)
            overlays += armor_overlay
        some_function()
            //stuff
            overlays -= armor_overlay
            del(armor_overlay)
