How can u code a change icon state verb that allows u to see all the icon states in the icon instead of having to type in the icon_state you want?

Look up the icon_states() proc.

I would like to add something to this. When you add all of your icon states to a list, make sure you add a "" state so you can set back to default. I've seen many people forget this and it gets annoying when you want to set back to default.

You could do
if("" in asdf) asdf+=" "
if(" ") src.icon_state=""
Or something, I dunno'

I was just thinking more along the lines of:

var/list/IconState=iconstates(src.icon)
IconState+="\" \""
var/A = input("Please select the icon state please.") in IconState
switch(A)
     if("\" \"") src.icon_state=""
     else src.icon_state="[A]"

What happens if the icon doesn't have a "" icon_state?

then the only choice will be null!

A blank icon_state will basically mean the same thing as null. If there is no icon_state for the blank, or null state, the person can always switch to another, because I would take my best bet in saying that you can use this verb more than once. 0.o
