Is there a way to make an overlay appear at a location on the map(please give an example)
| |
how about doing this if someone is in a certain spot
lets say (1,2,1) so if someone is in (1,2,1) can I make an overlay in (2,2,1)? | |

Careful, though. Once you make an overlay, you can't delete it again. Are you sure? I know you can remove specific icons from the overlays, but I've never tried it while using an obj to access the icon_states. | |
Are you sure? I know you can remove specific icons from the overlays, but I've never tried it while using an obj to access the icon_states. Pretty sure, but not completely and utterly positive. Last time I checked, the only way you could remove overlays that you've added is to keep the object in a list somewhere and then remove it from the overlays and delete the object. But that's beyond a code problem. | |
Yes.
Ooh, clever, you prevented me from giving me just a simple 'yes' answer! ;-)
proc/overlay_at_location(icon, iconstate, x, y, z)
var/turf/T = locate(x, y, z)
var/obj/O = new
O.icon = icon
O.icon_state = iconstate
T.overlays += O
del(O)

Well, you can, but it's not the reverse of what you just did... you'd have to delete every overlay from the turf that you overlayed on.
