How would you code a icon next to a verb, like Run and then next to run the is a picture of a man running (used with dream maker dmi)

You cannot display icons next to verbs. What you can do is create an object with the name "Run" and have its Click() proc execute the appropriate verb.

so your saying make an icon like

/obj/run
icon = 'icons.dmi'
icon_state = "Run"
Click()

You're on the right track, Codefreak.

obj
 Run
  icon = 'icons.dmi'
  icon_state = "Run"
  Click()
   //input running code here


Now we have an obj called Run, where when it's in your inventory, it will display the icon 'icons.dmi' with the Run icon state, which will also be labeled "Run". Once clicked, it will run what ever you decide will make your character run, such as setting a "running" var to 1, and when they call client.move() you can do a check to see if their running var is one, and then have it sleep() a certain delay depending on if their "running" var is TRUE or not. Or better yet, you can just set a movement delay var to a lower value, and just always have client.move() sleep()ing what ever that delay is.
