Use overlays. Look them up in the DM Reference (<---) under atom/var/overlays.

So, what you need is for someone to code it for you so ultimately you'll be helping out no one. Well, I'll give you a hint.
Spawn, new, locate(x,y,z), and loc will all be used here. | |
Nah. There's nothing wrong with telling someone how to do something (within reason).
~Edit~ Also, he didn't really say he wanted someone to put the code together for him. It sounds like he just needs a kick-start for him to build off of it...I think. O.o | |

Its a forum on code help..geez shouldn't the more experienced tell the less how to do stuff? lol Nonsense! This is a forum where experienced programmers stroke their egos at the expense of others. Everyone knows that. | |
Use the procs in [link] to add overlays. If adding shield icon overlays in each direction isn't what you want, then I don't understand the question.
