If im correct, your using icon_states but not defineing them in your code.

Youve got improper indentation. With that setup mob/player has no icon, but any plain old mob will have that icon by default. Take the person back one indent like soo


mob
person
icon = 'person.dmi'
.....blah blah // rest of code here

right and icon_state goes on the same indent as icon.
