Okay. I've been wondering about this for quite some time now. How do I make it so you can only see certain people. Like, let's say theres 5 people online in the same 5 by 5 room. How do I make it so you can only see 2 other players, let's say, Bob and Joe. So I can only see myself, Bob and Joe. Anyone know how to do this?

Untested:

var/list/users_allowed = list("Buzzyboy","SSJ4_Gohan_Majin")

mob/verb/useimage()
    var/image/secret_image = image('secretimage.dmi',users_allowed)
    usr << secret_image

Thankyou SSJ_4(insert rest of name here) That's very useful.

But I do have one other problem. For the people online, in this case, Us =p. They icons have overlays. How do I made the image have overlays?

Ermm. but I don't think it works =p

It's better to say, "Image can't have overlays". I've been seeing you make very useless comments to everyone. You need to stop all the sarcasim, and try helping people for once instead of criticizing there coding skills. You were once a newbie, and you were just as bad as them. So, just because your a good coder doesn't mean you have to go around flaming people.

I AM helping people. The problem is that they can't help themselves.

Might I mention that you didn't help him either?

And besides Garthor, My key is older then yours, booya! SCore one for Buzzy. But anywho, Majin. I think they correct way I think we should have used it was

for(var/mob/M in allowed_people)
<tabby>image crap stuff that I don't understand

not sure if that works, but I think it might.

Oh wait, so images can't have overlays?
