mob
 AddOverlay()
   src.overlay+='Hair.dmi'
   overlay_icon_state="blah"

Something like that not sure though I don't use overlays.

whats the difference between
just putting
"Hair"
and
'Hair.dmi'

would it be becausse the first one("Hair")
i define it first by putting src.icon ='Base.dmi'

that overlay icon_state isnt working
its calling it a variable
