            usr.icon = 'Adult Link.dmi'
            input("What color?", chara)in list("Green", "Red", "Blue", "Purple", "Black")
            if(chara == "Green")
                usr.icon_state="Green"
            if(chara == "Red")
                usr.icon_state="Red"
            if(chara == "Blue")
                usr.icon_state="Blue"
            if(chara == "Purple")
                usr.icon_state="Purple"
            if(chara == "Black")
                usr.icon_state="Black"
        if(chara == "Trunks")
            usr.icon = 'Trunks.dmi'
            input("What transformation?", chara)in list("Normal", "Super Saiyan", "Super Saiyan 2", "Super Saiyan 3")
            if(chara == "Normal")
                usr.icon_state="Trunks"
            if(chara == "Super Saiyan")
                usr.icon_state="ssj1"
            if(chara == "Super Saiyan 2")
                usr.icon_state="ssj2"
            if(chara == "Super Saiyan 3")
                usr.icon_state="ssj3"


When I compile, I get no errors, but when I use it in the game, it doesn't change the character's icon. Little help please?

This gets really old, but really, don't put src in a proc. usr isn't defined.

Technically, you replace usr with src. But just replacing them without thinking what you're doing is dumb too.

        var/chara2=input("What color?")as null|anything in list("Green","Red","Blue","Purple","Black")  
        if(chara2)
            icon='Adult Link.dmi'
            icon_state="[chara2]"
    if(chara=="Trunks")
        var/chara3=input("What transformation?")as null|anything in list("Normal","Super Saiyan","Super Saiyan 2","Super Saiyan 3")
        if(chara3)
            icon='Trunks.dmi'
            icon_state="[chara3]"

// Change the icon states to match the selection in chara3.

Artemio, according to "usr Unfriendly," your code would just need a little changing.

mob/Login()
    ..()
    loc=locate(2,2,1)
    var/chara=input(src, "What character do you wish to play as?")as null|anything in list("Link","Trunks")
    if(chara=="Link")
        var/chara2=input(src, "What color?")as null|anything in list("Green","Red","Blue","Purple","Black")  
        if(chara2)
            icon='Adult Link.dmi'
            icon_state="[chara2]"
    if(chara=="Trunks")
        var/chara3=input(src, "What transformation?")as null|anything in list("Normal","Super Saiyan","Super Saiyan 2","Super Saiyan 3")
        if(chara3)
            icon='Trunks.dmi'
            icon_state="[chara3]"


There was still some usr-ness in it, and since character loading is in use, usr isn't safe here.
