is it possible to change an overlays icon_state

for example, i have a running icon state for a base, so i want to change the icon_state for clothes and hairs for the running state.

All you have to do is define the icon_state in the overlays icon file.

I think you misunderstood me. All you have to do is make the icon_state in the icon file for the overlay. Then code the state change for the mob's icon. Is that what you need help with? Coding the state change for the mob?

Edit**
Here's an example:
mob
   verb
      run()
         src.icon_state="run" //thats the only state change you need
         src.speed+=20 //you'll probably want them to move faster but you'll have to set the delays and what not yourself


Basically you don't have to code the state change for the overlay. It'll change on it's own when whatever it is on is changed.

you use flick("run",usr)

usr can be replaced with another variable, like M if it's (mob/M in world), etc.
