Flicking multitiled icons?

I've stumbled across this problem many times, and recently had to come back to it.
How would I go about flicking say, a top layer of the icon? If it's y-offset is 32.

Why don't you put the full icon into one instead of using multiple tiles?

The icon state of any overlays will match the base object's icon state, including from flick(), provided no icon_state is set for the overlays.

Here's some code I just whipped together:

world/mob = /mob/Guy1

mob/Guy1
    icon = 'Guy1.dmi'
    icon_state="bottom"

mob/Login()
    usr.loc = locate(1,1,1)
    usr.overlays += /obj/Guy1_Standing

obj
    Guy1_Standing
        icon='Guy1.dmi'
        icon_state="top"
        pixel_y = 32
    Guy1_Walking
        icon='Guy1.dmi'
        icon_state="top"
        pixel_y = 32
    Guy1_Punching
        icon='Guy1_Punching.dmi'
        icon_state="punchup"
        pixel_y = 32
turf
    bg
        icon ='Map.dmi'

mob/verb
    Punch()
        flick("punchup",usr)


I tried your method, Garthor, where they both use the same icon state. It doesn't work.

You must've misinterpreted what I've said. For example, this is what I mean:

obj/testthing
    icon = 'moboverlay.dmi'

mob
    New()
        overlays += /obj/testthing
    verb/test()
        flick("test", src)


Note that the obj has no icon_state specified. As a result, its icon_state will match the base object's, even when flick()ing. What this means, however, is that it needs its own, separate icon file.

I'm not sure I completely understand-- in the tests I've done with your code and mine, the bottom icon only flicks.

Here is my new revamped code:
mob
    New()
        usr.icon = 'Guy1.dmi'
        usr.overlays += /obj/Guy1_Standing
    Login()
        src.loc = locate(1,1,1)
    verb/Punch()
        flick("punch",src)


obj
    Guy1_Standing
        icon='Top.dmi'
        icon_state="top"
        pixel_y = 32
    Guy1_Walking
        icon='Top.dmi'
        icon_state="top"
        pixel_y = 32
    Guy1_Punching
        icon='Top.dmi'
        pixel_y = 32

As I've said, if you have an icon_state="anything" line, it will not work, as the icon_state will always match that. However, if you do not have that line, the icon_state will instead match that of the base object.

Your overlays have specified icon states.

Garthor is saying that in order for your overlay to flick with your icon, it must have no icon state specified.

that's your problem.
