If you intend to create a game, the first step should be to start here, since this is going to provide you with material to learn the basics of programming (in BYOND).
Try to have a look at the DM guide (and reference), since these will enlighten you past any tutorial you're working on. But don't 'rush through'(browse), like with a comic.
Sometimes you will think that you already know something, when you do not yet know all of the functionality.
Or, you think that something is 'too basic/of no use' for you, but every advanced bit of code is actually built out of these basic (tiresome) parts.
If you still did not manage, your next step would be to use the forum search (of the right forum, in this case Developers), since it is likely that your problem has been discussed before already and there are various replies.
Whenever you are struggling, a developer should use the Developer forum to seek assistance from like-minded community members.
Thank you in advance.
As for your special problem, your description is rather vague, so I can hardly provide you solid advice.
I *think* that you want to query for an item and then use this for an avatar, which could be achieved through multiple ways, but I'm not sure if that is really what you were looking for. An easy, yet ugly way would be to get the icon through input and then just assign it.
