When I try to create a new overlay
usr.overlays += new/obj/overlay/armor
I can't figure out how to color it, well how to call it
[what I need].icon += rgb(R,G,B)
I've tried checking the usr for overlays via
for(var/obj/overlay/armor in usr)
for(var/obj/overlay/armor in usr.loc)
for(var/obj/overlay/armor in world)
even the last gets no results... not even a single overlay
please help!
thanks

so you mean
var/color = new/obj/overlay/armor color *= rgb(R,G,B) [with mostly white icons] usr.overlays += color It seems to work but I want to be sure Im doing it right thanks. ~Vermolius~ | |

Nope, not a good idea. Start with a mostly white icon and multiply.
To create the colored overlay you have to create an obj of the type you want, change its icon, then add it to overlays. Then you can delete the obj itself, because it's just used like a template to create the overlay and you don't need it anymore.
