Step 1. icon state="(name of icon state)"
Step 2. no step 2, there's your tutorial.

I think he means switching states, like regular to mining to firing weapons etc.

It's still the same thing though. It's just a variable.

Kinda. Depends what level of complexity you want in your state changes.

i meant switching between states.. so far i have this;

Teleport_home()
icon_state = "[usr.icon_state] teleport"
sleep(5)
usr.Move(locate(/turf/start))
sleep(5)
icon_state =

but i don't know what to put to revert to the original state.. due to the "usr.icon_state" being changed i dont know how to go back to the original

Why dont you just use flick() on the teleport verb instead of changing your icon state?
heres the reference on flick:

Set icon_state to an empty string to set it back to its original.
And for switching icon states, flick() does the trick.
