I want to represent ranks in a skill through icons on a statpanel. As the character's skill increases the icon on the statpanel will change. Can anyone help me out?

make an object, and show it in the stat panel, and change its icon with their rank

Yes... that's what I want to do. I'm pretty sure I can handle the other stuff but how would I make the icon correspond with a mob/var?

var/obj/LEADER = new // the icon
mob
    stat()
        statpanel("blah")
        switch(src.rank)
            if("leader")// the users rank
                stat(LEADER)// the icon to show
obj
    LEADER
        icon = "blah.dmi"
        icon_state="LEADER"

I think I'm getting close. So this is what I did:

var
    obj
        zero = new
        one = new

obj
    zero
        icon = 'rank.dmi'
        icon_state = "0"
    one
        icon = 'rank.dmi'
        icon_state = "1"
mob
    Stat()
        statpanel("Class")
        switch(src.balance)
            if(src.balance==0)
                stat("Balance ",zero)
            if(src.balance==1)
                stat("Balance ",one)


I get an "expected a constant expression" errors on the two if() lines. Hmm?

I can tell you rushed. You kinda contradicted yourself there, heh. I think you meant that it won't work in it's present state due to indentation, icons, among other things, but if he created something similar of his own and had those things, it'd work.

var
    zero = new /obj/zero
    one = new /obj/one

obj
    zero
        icon = 'rank.dmi'
        icon_state = "0"
    one
        icon = 'rank.dmi'
        icon_state = "1"
mob
    Stat()
        statpanel("Class")
        if(!src.balance)
            stat("Balance",zero)
        else
            stat("Balance",one)

Try that.

Also with a switch inplace switch(src.blah) you don't need if(src.blah == 1) you only need if("1") and etc.

And for ==1 thats a no no use if(src.blah) for ==1 and if(!src.blah) for ==0.

Hey it works now. Thanks alot.

Edit: Wait, one more problem. The word "one" is written on the right of the icon, how do I eliminate this?
