var/icon/Q = icon('items.dmi',
"[vial.containing]")
Q += rgb(src.rgb[1],src.rgb[2],src.rgb[3])//Error here

=/ I get a type mismatch when doing that...and, yes, I set the obj's RGB to a number.

(I made a rgb list, var/list/rgb[3])

Well, thanks for reading.

Q.Blend(rgb(rgb[1],rgb[2],rgb[3],ICON_ADD)


Q is an icon OBJECT, thus cannot have rgb() added to it with an operator. When you have an initialized icon object, use the Blend() procedure.

Ahhh...another beautiful feature with Blend. :)
Thanks, Ter.

I think you're also likely to experience problems with a var named rgb, as opposed to RGB. Sometimes naming vars after built-in procs is bad. This isn't always the case, but it is for block and probably a few others.

Yeah, I thought of that...I knew it would have something tacky along the ride. :p
Thanks, Lummox for the info.
