        AddOverlay(I as icon) // choose an icon
            src.overlays+=I // add the overlay
        RemoveOverlay()
            for(var/I in overlays) // loop through overlays
                src.overlays-=I // remove the overlay

Use the && and || operators.

if(a && b) means "If a and b are true..."
if(a || b) means "if a or b are true..."

You can combine them in interesting ways, so:

if((a&&b)||c||d) means "If a and b are true, or c is true, or d is true..."

Read the DM Guide. After reading it, you will know exactly what overlays and underlays do and much more.

Failing to read it will result in your inability to efficently code. 100% guaranteed!
