Well, it probably doesn't work because... it's not even there. You need to provide something for people to work off of if you're asking for help on something like this. Most people create their games differently, and, because of that, an answer I could give you would probably have no use to you in your game.

here is something i took strait from my game i havent edited it. It dhould help you with overlay.


mob/var/hair// this is what the hair icon is in
mob/var/wearing=0// this is for the verb

mob/Login()
    usr.icon='man.dmi'
    usr.Move(locate(1,1,1))
    usr << "<font color=white>Welcome to Your New Fate</font>"
    usr << "<font color=white>You are The Last Hero</font>"
    world << "<font color=red><b><u><i>[usr] has entered</font></b></i></u>"
    
    
    
    




turf/grass
    icon='grass.dmi'

mob/verb/Wear_or_Remove_Chest_Plate()
    if(usr.wearing==1)//this is just a var to see if the helm is being worn you will probly have to improvize
        usr.overlays-='chestpl8.dmi'// this is the helm icon
        usr.overlays+= usr.hair// this is your hair
        usr.wearing=0// this makes it to where it will make it remove the next time you click this verb
    else// this is else like ummm hmmm a good what to explane this... if else you wearing dont = 1 it will do that
        usr.overlays+='chestpl8.dmi'
        usr.wearing=1

Here is a code to equpit a weapon. Hope it becomes useful.

 
obj
    bladeover
        icon = 'wepons.dmi'
        icon_state = "Iron Blade"
obj/Isword
    icon = 'wepons.dmi'
    icon_state = "sword"
    verb
        Get()
            set src in oview(1)
            if(usr.Ssword == 0)
                new/obj/Isword(usr)
                usr.Ssword = 1
                usr << " YOU ACQUIRED THE IRON BLADE !"
            else
                usr << " Your own blade stops you from approaching "
    Click()
        if(usr.Ssword == 1)
            if(usr.sword == 0)
                usr.STR += 50
                usr.overlays += 'wepons.dmi'
                usr << "You equip the Iron Blade !"
                usr.sword = 1
            else
                usr.overlays -= 'wepons.dmi'
                usr << " you unequipped the sword !"
                usr.STR -= 50
                usr.sword = 0

Ugh. No no no. There are several right ways and many more wrong ways to equip things, and you've picked one of the wrong ones.

Wrong:
usr.sword = 1


Right:
usr.sword = src


In any equipment system, knowing whether an item is equipped is next to useless, but knowing which item is equipped is very helpful. In any good equipment system, you'll have a null value for nothing equipped, or a reference to the actual item equipped.

I implore you to check out Wizkidd0123's equipment system.

Since I don't feel much like repeating myself, go read [link], which applies equally well to your code. So very wrong.

As I noted in that other post, you must not set your weapon var to just 1 when you equip a weapon. Set it to the weapon itself. Set it to null when you unequip.
