Not sure exactly what you're asking. Are you trying to find where the flick() call should go? In that case it could anywhere you'd like in the verb past the set statement.

Hey, I didn't understand what the OP was asking either and so I talked with him via PM. He wants his icon (swordman)to be replaced with an animated one(Potato) and when the animation is complete the icon would be replaced again with the original one (swordman).

I offered him this solution (which solved his problem):
/*
Ok so your Swordman is your static base icon
and the Potato is your animated icon

Imagine that both of those icons are stored in the icons.dmi file for example


*/


mob/PlayerClient/proc/Test_IconChange()

    var/icon/ANIMATED = image('icons.dmi',icon_state = "Potato") //Gets your potato icon
    flick(ANIMATED,src) //Animates the client and then It return to the base icon (swordman
