All that I was able to understand from your horrible english was this, that you are trying to make an icon appear over the player icon, and then after sometime, the icon goes away but the player is still behind it. If that's what you mean, then you can use overlays. Read the reference (F1) for more information.

This is an example without indentations or anything else.
src.overlays+='iconnamehere.dmi' //Replace 'iconnamehere' with the name of the icon file you want to use.
sleep(50)//Makes it wait 5 seconds. 50 is equal to 5 seconds because the amount of time to sleep,is in 1/10 seconds.
src.overlays-='iconnamehere.dmi'//Replace 'iconnamehere' with the name of the icon file you want to use.


In the reference:
The sleep proc.
Overlays.

You want smoke to appear in a certain location and when it fades, there is a mob there correct? If that is the case, I would create a smoke animation that is dense and first and then fades/thins out. I would place both the mob and the smoke in the same location, with the smoke having a higher layer then the mob and have it run its animation and then delete itself, leaving the already there mob exposed.

Look up the spawn proc in the reference.

Here is the link:
spawn proc.

i look at it but i can't understand how it works i thought it would be like this

mob
   summon
         New()

   verb
       spawn(30) summon


that what i though i would have to put it but it doesn't seem to do anything

You'll want to make an image object over the corresponding mob and then flick the image. Flicking the mob itself will not leave the original icon behind underneath.

I could have swore that I had told you this multiple times before...

You NEED to utilize the best grammar you can when asking for help from other people since it helps the people you're asking for help from, to understand you. This helps us to help you better and faster. We are not psychic and cannot tell what you want exactly from reading horrible/broken English. If English is not your first language, then it might be better to find someone who speaks your native language to help you.
