Code:
        for(var/mob/Char/M in List_Of_Characters)
      var/q = browse_rsc(M)
      var/image/I = image(q,icon_state = "")
      world << I // to test if it worked
        Display += {"
            <td align = "center"><img src=[I]></td>
            <br><td align = "center">[M.name]</td>
            <td align = "center">Description:  [M.Description]</td>
            </tr>"}
        src << browse("Character List<BR><BR>   [Display]","window=Character List;can_close = 1")


Problem description:

The code above is basically a convoluted (after a while) attempt to display a unit's icon in browse() (in it's default icon state) without having to make a seperate image file for each one (this will take too much time). Is it possible, and if so, what am I doing wrong?

if you browse("\icon[src]") does that output it ?

edit: tested and it did work.

mob
    icon = 'Base.dmi'

mob/verb/import()
    var/BDisplay
    for(var/M in list(src))
        BDisplay += "\icon[M]<br>"
    src << browse(BDisplay)


Thats all the code in the project. It displayed as many icons as I wanted it to using the same format (selecting an instance that exists, or using image(icon = 'filename', icon_state = "statname")

To display an icon in a browser window, you'll need to use browse_rsc().
