How do I access the default value of a prototype's variable
I think what you want is the initial() proc:

In response to Cinnom
I meant of something like /mob/icon
In response to Sgeo
You are talking about the "type" variable.
In response to Sgeo
mob
icon='human.dmi'
verb
Make_me_a_bug()
icon='bug.dmi'
Default_Icon()
icon=initial(icon)


The Default_Icon verb would make the player's icon revert to human.dmi (because that's what it is set to at compile time). If you do mean something else entirely please be as specific as you can.
