Code:

obj
   overlay
        SS3Transform
           icon = 'aura_red.dmi'
           icon_state = "SS3trans"
           layer = MOB_LAYER+2
if(earnedSS3)
    overlays += /obj/overlay/SS3Transform
    spawn(16)
        overlays -= /obj/overlay/SS3Transform

Problem description:When I use this verb the icon starts in a random spot in the icon. The icon is 16 frames long. It sometimes starts in the middle, end or beginning of the icon. How can I fix this or what other then overlay/underlay could I use to do this?

Garthor	You have to use the flick() proc if you want to play an animation from beginning to end. Otherwise, it'll just sync up with every other animation.
