flick() as an overlay, not an icon?

else if(usr.performingjutsu==0 && using==1)
                    using=0
                    usr.overlays = new()
                    usr.icon=picon
                    usr.overlays+=poverlays
                    world << "Test"
                    usr.overlays += 'Clouds.dmi'
                    picon = 0
                    poverlays = new()

Clouds.dmi is set so it only runs once, so I figured it deleted itself from the overlays list when it ran, but it doesn't. So when an icon_state is changed to ="" it will run again. How do I make 'Clouds.dmi' just flick over the player as an overlay?

edit: Nevermind. I changed it to this;

var/obj/O = new()
        O.icon = 'Clouds.dmi'
        O.loc = locate(src.x, src.y, src.z)
        O.layer = src.layer+1
        flick("clouds", O)
        spawn(10) del(O)
