Code:
obj
    aura
        icon = 'aura{gm-boy}.dmi'
    
    New(icon_state = "bottom-3")
        pixel_y = 0
        pixel_x = 0
    
    New(icon_state = "bottom-4")
        pixel_y = 0
        pixel_x = 32
    
    New(icon_state = "bottom-5")
        pixel_y = 0
        pixel_x = 64
    
    New(icon_state = "bottom-2")
        pixel_y = 0
        pixel_x = -32
    
    New(icon_state = "bottom-1")
        pixel_y = 0
        pixel_x = -64


Cant seem to get the pixel_x/y working. can anyone spare an example please? thanks

            I.layer = c.layer + 1
            P << I


can't say this is the best writen code, but this works for me...

Your use of new is dubious - it appears that you want to have each overload only called if icon_state is equal to whatever, but this isn't how you do it.
You need to have something more like this:
New()
    switch(icon_state)
        if("whatever1")
            pixel_x = 0
            pixel_y = 32
        if("whatever2")
            pixel_x = 32
            pixel_y = 32

Etc.

         overlays += image(icon = 'BigGuy.dmi',icon_state = "TR", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y = 32)


As said before, the method you were using in the beginning is really illogical, it looks like you don't have a firm grasp on DM yet so you might wana take a look at the DM guide again.

erm threes also 1 more thing... i managed to make the big aura using this code..,


obj
    aura
        icon = 'aura.dmi'
        New()
            ..()
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "bottom-3", pixel_y = -16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "bottom-2", pixel_x = -32, pixel_y = -16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "bottom-1", pixel_x = -64, pixel_y = -16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "bottom-4", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y = -16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "bottom-5", pixel_x = 64, pixel_y = -16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middlebottom-3", pixel_y = 16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middlebottom-2", pixel_x = -32, pixel_y = 16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middlebottom-1", pixel_x = -64, pixel_y = 16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middlebottom-4", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y = 16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middlebottom-5", pixel_x = 64, pixel_y = 16)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middletop-3", pixel_y = 48)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middletop-2", pixel_x = -32, pixel_y = 48)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middletop-1", pixel_x = -64, pixel_y = 48)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middletop-4", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y = 48)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "middletop-5", pixel_x = 64, pixel_y = 48)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "top-2", pixel_y = 80)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "top-1", pixel_x = -32, pixel_y = 80)
            overlays += image(icon = 'aura.dmi',icon_state = "top-3", pixel_x = 32, pixel_y = 80)


now how do i make a verb to call this object as an underlay... lol... sorry for all hte questions
