Xallius

I have been furiously making icons for a game, but then thought:

Can I make a single icon, then layer items on him/her

EX: just make person with normal clothes
then layer a helmet on it and some armor, transparent
everyewhere besides the helmet itself. Can i do this and have it stay with him as it moves? I would make the diff. angle icons of the object then place it on the main icon of the player.

PLEASE!

SPARE ME FROM MAKING 100,100,000,000,000,000,000 ICONS!
(one hundred quintillion... actual estimate)

sapphiremagus	Actually, that's what most people do :) Take a look at overlays and images in the help files to give you some pointers.
