I want to give my characters a verb that allows them to become invisible, but i want there to be a suitable effect before their icon becomes invisible. What is the best way to do this?

To make them invisible:
flick("sparkle",src) // makes the "sparkle" icon state appear before they go invisibile
src.invisibility = 1

src.invisibility = 0//to make them visible again

The call to flick() would be useless, since you're immediately setting src's invisibility right after. The animation would never be seen.

Yeah, is there a way to make it so it delays as long as the icon state?

Use sleep() or create a temporary object and use that to show the animation.
