Icon not changing

Code: Spell
    Spin(obj/sword in oview(6))
        sword.icon = 'weapon.dmi'
        sword.icon_state = "spin"


Problem description: I'm trying to replace the icon, not add one, what am I doing wrong? Also, is there a way to add a area onto it?

try this
mob/proc/Spin(var/obj/sword/S in oview(6))
 S.icon='weapon.dmi'
 S.icon_state="spin"

if its an animation use flick()
mob/proc/Spin(var/obj/sword/S in oview(6))
 flick("spin",S) //Requires that the sword icon be equal to the icon with the spin state

try that

Thanks, but that put an icon over it, and didn't replace it. I want the sword icon to not be there, and the spin icon to repeat indefinately.

  for(var/obj/sword/S in oview(6))

Ah! It works now, only 1 problem. ALL swords on the screen spin, whereas I just want the one activated to spin.
