I seem to be having some issues with my icon states. Basically I click the macro to use a verb. The verb makes my icon_state change 3 times. The first changes it for 4.2 seconds, and then it changes it for another 6.4 seconds. Then changes it one more time for 3 seconds, then goes back to the default of "".

From experimenting with this, I have come to the assumption that when the world is run, a "loop" starts, and this loop associates with all icons. This loop is constantly cycling through, and restarting, and goes on infinitely until the world is shut down. The problem with this is that whenever you change an icon's icon_state, the icon_state just "jumps" into the "loop" wherever it is. Meaning, it does not always start the icon_state from the beginning. For the maximum effect I am trying to achieve in my game, I need these to work right. Is there any way to "reset" the "loop" when an icon_state is changed?
