Nothing wrong with the code itself, probably something wrong with where you put it.

Well, you should probably forgo putting it in at all until you understand what you're doing. Have you read through the basic ZBT, Guide, and FAQ information? If you haven't, make sure you go through them until you get an understanding of the format for the language, then you'll know where to put the aging code at.

Considering the way code usually works, I don't think it's possible for me to just tell you where it goes.

put it a proc and then call the proc at login.

As I understand your code, this is level dependent, right?

You should probably put a check in your levelling code that checks the new level, and IF level = 50 THEN change the icon. I assume you are saving characters, so the icon should be saved without needing extra code at the login.

if(icon == 'gokuchibi.dmi')
if(MPL >= 7000)
icon = 'gokun.dmi'
else
icon = 'gokuchibi.dmi'

i put that in the lvling part and it produced no errors but didnt work.

you need to make a var

if(src.chibi==1)
    //all your other stuff//

for some reason no matter where i put all the different ways to make the person grow it always says that everything in it is dupplicate definition and instructions dont work here except the way with the proc which doesnt work. I was thinking that maybe i called the proc wrong, can someone tell me a right way to call a proc.
