Code:
mob
    player
        if(client.gender == "male")
            icon = 'Male Test Icon.dmi'
            density = 1
        if(client.gender == "female")
            icon = 'Female Test Icon.dmi'
            density = 1


Problem description:
I cant seem to find a way to make the icon depend on the player's gender =\, is there anyway to read that from a players key?

           if(client.gender == "female")
               icon = 'Female Test Icon.dmi'
           density=1


This should solve your problems.

I was going to but then I stopped and thought that it might call the proc a second time.

The reason being, of course, that if() statements cannot be used outside of proc's. if() statements run a check, which can't really be done at compile-time.

Also, mobs are defaultly dense, I do believe. I don't really see the point in setting density at Login(), but whatever floats your boat.

That's not true.
They can be used in verbs.
(i couldn't quite understand what you said there)

(and Login() is a proc in itself.)

I believe you would do..
mob
    player
        Login()
           if(src.gender == "male")
               icon = 'Male Test Icon.dmi'
           if(src.gender == "female")
               icon = 'Female Test Icon.dmi'
           density=1


Because gender I believe, is a mob based variable, and I think it's automaticly set everytime you login.
