In response to Reinhartstar
did you line the cape when you made it to fit the mobs body?

Yeah it fits the mobs body completely fine, but when u equip it, it puts it underneath the mob.

Your problem is that you're adding a type path to an overlay which you cant apparently.

Do var/obj/[insertobjecthere]/O = new

And then do usr.overlays += O.icon
