you should change del usr.hair to usr.hair = null
and create Overlays() proc

for exmple

mob
proc
Overlays()
usr.overlays = null
usr.overlays += usr.hair
usr.overlays += any other overlays should be added

this will remove all the overlays and re-add them to the player

you will be able to fix overlays more easly that way you might want to add that proc when players login, also XD yeah dont chagne the hair icon state...

This would be because you are changing the icon_state of the player.

Your bug is in the line where you set icon_state. Instead of setting the hairs icon_state, you are setting the usr icon_state. Since "Mushroom_State" isn't inside your guy.dmi file, it gets set to the first icon in guy.dmi without a name. Since you don't have an icon without a name in guy.dmi, it sets the icon_state to nothing.

Here's a quick write up that might help.

turf
    grass
        icon='grass.dmi'
        icon_state="grass"
mob
    icon = 'guy.dmi'
    icon_state = "guy"
    
    var
        icon/hair;
    verb
        ChangeHair()
            Mob_ChangeHair()
    proc
        Mob_ChangeHair()
            if (hair)
            {
                overlays -= hair
            }
            switch(input("What hair style would you like?", text) in list ("Mushroom","Spikey"))
                if("Mushroom")
                    hair = new('Hair.dmi', "Mushroom_Hair");
                if("Spikey")
                    hair = new('Hair.dmi', "Spikey_Hair");
                    
            var/hairred = input("How much red do you want to put into your hair?",,255) as num
            var/hairblue = input("How much blue do you want to put into your hair?",,0) as num
            var/hairgreen = input("How much green do you want to put into your hair?",,0) as num             
            hair.Blend(rgb(hairred,hairgreen,hairblue), ICON_MULTIPLY)
            overlays += hair
    Login()
        loc = locate(1,1,1)

When I use this, the hair layer is below the mob layer instead of above , otherwise it works ok. Any advice?

Here's an example project containing exact source. As far as the layering problem, this exact code will place hair on top of mob. You might have something modifying the layer of the mob or hair. Look for something like "layer = MOB_LAYER+1".

Wow thanks! Trying to do the best I can until I get my guide.
