Ok so i have this verb that gives an overlayer and lets call it aura.
How do i flick an animation of ONLY the aura before it becomes an overlayer of my mob? and the flick of that aura should not affect the mob.

like:
"click verb"
flick("auraflick",usr) <-- it should only affect the aura not the mob
--Then the actually icon/overlay gets attach to the mob--
src.overlays+=new/obj/aura
--the end

So flicking a blank mob.dmi frame is out of the question?

i tried

asd()
var/obj/effects/aura/A=new/obj/effects/aura
usr.overlays+=A
flick("flick",A)

the overlays part seem to work but the flick part doesn't

You put it in the wrong order from what he showed you. IDK if what he told you is correct, I myself don't use flick.
