flick("rawr",usr)
This only changes/flicks my players icon. How can I get it to flick the overlays as well? (Yes, they are named 'rawr' also.(The icon states for the overlays)).

Subtract the original overlay, add the new one.

The icon_state of each and every one of an atom.overlays is equal to atom.icon_state. You can't change the icon_state of an atom without changing the icon_state of its overlays. I asked this same question when I first started on BYOND.

Basically meaning(for those of you who didn't catch it), changing the icon_state changes the state of all overlays to the same state. I much prefer changing icon_state than using flick as it can be tested. Like if(icon_state=="state"). After changing the state you can just use spawn to set a delay before returning to the calling state.

I asked this same question when I first started on BYOND. Gee, that sounds familiar: [link]. Branks, when you copy and paste text from somebody else's post, you need to cite it. Otherwise, you're plagiarizing. | |
