Thats my code as of now, to get p.oed.
The sleep dont work...(I think thats what its supposed to be.)

In that code, the sleep is pointless. The sleep sleeps the current function for a specified amount of time before coninuing code in the same function

But, my idea is to get the sleep() to work..then do this..

mob
verb
Anger()
usr.icon_state = "Enrage"
usr << "You feel pised off."
sleep(300)
usr.icon_state = "Next State"

Eh...eh? Would that work?

No. You don't indent when using sleep. It would be more like
mob
    verb
        Anger()
            src.icon_state = "Enrage"
            src << "You feel pised off."
            sleep(300) // Wait 30 seconds
            src.icon_state = "Next State"


Don't use usr. And keep in mind that sleep sleeps the specified amount in tenths of seconds, so the example sleeps for 30.

One more thing: from now on, please put all coding in

Yes. sleep delays the entire remaining function for the set of time, and you don't indent the coding after it.

spawn delays the indented code for the specified amount of time, while still continuing processing the code after the indented spawn block
