So far I have

switch(input("What is the icon state?") in list("[icon_states(usr.icon)]"))


After that im stuck can someone help me with this?

1) You do not need in list("[icon_states(usr.icon)]")) the way you did it. icon_states() returns the icon states already in a list (list of text strings, if you look it up in reference), so you can simply say in icon_states(usr.icon)

2) Why do you want to use a switch() when you can directly change the icon_state?
icon_state = input("What is the icon state you want?") as null|anything in icon_states(usr.icon)


as null adds a cancel button to the input, clicking it will make the icon_state=null in this case
