I need a way to take a player, and change their icon to an upside-down non-moving version of their north directional state (To make it look like they're dead) because I use custom icons on my game and not everyone has a death state =P

well if its a mini game you could make it a corpse and the player a ghost...


        
mob/proc/Die()
    new /obj/corpse(src.loc)
    src.icon = 'ghost.dmi'
    src.density = 0

I just wondered if there's a way to grab their north movement state, then turn it upside down using some proc. I don't know much about the icon variables/procs =/ I'll read up on them later maybe.

mob/proc/Flip()
    if(src.dir == NORTH)
        src.dir = SOUTH 
        return
    if(src.dir == SOUTH)
        src.dir = NORTH
        return



EDIT: heres the other way....

mob/proc/Flip()
    src.dir = turn(src.dir, 180)

well that just turns them around. I just want to generate an icon that's the upside down version of their north state; so it looks like they fell on their face.

And with DM it's easy to do that.

var/icon/I = someothericon
I.Flip(NORTH)


And if you just want the north state...

var/icon/I = icon(someothericon, somestate, NORTH)
I.Flip(NORTH)

mob/verb/Die()
    var/icon/I = icon(src.icon, src.icon_state, NORTH)
    I.Flip(NORTH)
    src.tempicon = src.icon
    src.icon = I


So I want that? (it saves the icon so that you can un-die :P)

(I'm using this for Roleplay purposes by the way.)
