Code:OverLay
var/const
   TRAPDOOR_LAYER = FLOAT_LAYER-1


turf/Spell
    a
        icon = 'RedSpellSign.dmi'
        icon_state="a"
    b
        icon='RedSpellSign.dmi'
        icon_state="b"
    c
        icon='RedSpellSign.dmi'
        icon_state="c"
    d
        icon='RedSpellSign.dmi'
        icon_state="d"
        
        
turf/Build
    BuildRt
        icon='BuildUpRed.dmi'
        icon_state="a"
    BuildRb
        icon='BuildUpRed.dmi'
        icon_state="b"


turf/MapStuff
    Grass
        icon='Turf.dmi'
        icon_state="Grass"
    Wall
        icon='Turf.dmi'
        icon_state="Wall"
        density=1
    TrapDoor
        icon='Turf.dmi'
        icon_state="Wall"
        density=0
        layer = TRAPDOOR_LAYER
        
        
    
turf/start
    start
        icon='start.dmi'
        
        
mob
    icon='Maleb.dmi'
    Login()
        loc = locate(/turf/start)


This time i'm trying to get the "trapdoor" to appear above the player/mob. This isn't working o.O and i won't want to make the overlay a verb

Code\turf.dm:20:error:usr :invalid proc definition


Its saying its a invalid proc


turf/verb/usr.overlays.Add(imagename)
    var/state = input("What icon_state?","Icon_State") in icon_states(I)
    var/image/I1 = image(icon=I,icon_state=state)
    overlays += I1

I will tell you exactly what this code does:

-The turfs come up with their icons, exactly as you defined them
-In AddOverlay, the turfs get an overlay, changing their on-screen picture to their pic with an overlay of a custom icon chosen by the player
-And when the mob logs in, he gets his pic and goes to start.

If you want the overlay to go on the player, however, change it to this:

turf/verb/AddOverlay(I as icon)
    var/state = input("What icon_state?","Icon_State") in icon_states(I)
    var/image/I1 = image(icon=I,icon_state=state)
    usr.overlays += I1 //this will overlay the usrs icon with a custom icon from their computer


If you want the icon to be predefined, change it to this:

turf/verb/AddOverlay(I as src.icon)
    var/state = input("What icon_state?","Icon_State") in icon_states(I)
    var/image/I1 = image(icon=I,icon_state=state)
    usr.overlays += I1 //overlays the usr's icon with a pre-defined one of the turf


But all this will do is allow the player to change his icon to a turfs. Be more exact as to what you want to do. AND DON'T COPY AND PASTE

And that's why I gave you the exact code on how to fix it. What do you exactly want to do with the code?
