Why won't that re-add my overlays?

Try this:
mob/verb/test() Also, if that doesn't work, what isn't working? | |

I've tried to do the same thing he is before, and I'm pretty sure that using a for() loop in overlays didn't work, at least not for that purpose.

I used it for that exact purpose, well not exactly I used it because saving overlays didn't work so well for me. I think it was Lummox who told me to do that, i'm going to find my example which worked occasionally.

The individual items in the list may not be directly accessed, since they are stored in a special internal format. However, the list operators +=, -=, and the procedures Add, Remove, and Cut work normally.
In other words, a for(blah in overlays) loop won't work; I don't think a direct assignment (var/blah = overlays) works either, but it might.
The one what that I know works is to keep the list as a mob var, and change it wherever you change overlays, you can then use that list to "restore" the overlays later.
