It just hit one day, how would you code a blank object to when Entered() or what ever it causes another object to change animations.

Say i have a blank invisble object that when you step on it, it causes say a locker to change animations. from "" to "open".

It would probably be easiest to use a turf for this, rather than an object. Here's an example that does (more or less) what you described:

turf/Trigger/Entered()
  var/obj/Locker/L = locate() in oview(src)  // Find a locker nearby
  if(L)  // If a locker was found
    L.icon_state = "open"  // Set its icon_state!
  return ..()  // Do the normal Entered() stuff

No put usr in Entered()! Ungh!

In oview(), usr is the implicit reference point. You need to make that oview(src).
