Just want to know how to make it so that when the user moves one tile say, south, the icon changes to another icon. I was thinking something along the lines of

if usr.Move = South()
flick usr.cion_state = "ICONTWO"

Not quite...
mob/Move()
   if(dir == SOUTH)
      flick("ICONSTATE",src)
(OR)
mob/Move()
   if(dir == SOUTH)
      icon_state = "ICONSTATE"

The first one will make it just flash the icon real quick, if you want it so when they change directions, it changes the way they are looking, make the icon of the person a movie, with 4 or 8 dir's.

I get what you're *trying* to do, but that's not how you do it. What you do, is you create an animated icon, and then in the directions menu(pull down by frames and delay) you choose four, or eight, whichever you prefer.

Dude, I have been working with BYOND for about 4 or 5 years now, I know that to make the icon move and change direction you simply access the camera icon and create an animation for the directions, I meant something else, your not quite grasping it. But thanks anyways.
