Hi, so I was wondering if it was possible to add an overlay for the jutsu, sharingan. If anybody is unsure of what the sharingan is then what I'm basically trying to say is I would like to add an overlay to make the players eyes turn red once the jutsu/spell is executed, how would I code this?

Its SwapColor(old_rgb,new_rgb)
Therefore you just need the exact RGB of the color your switching with the color replacing.

This is just an example
var/icon
    switch(src.icon_name)
       if(src.sharingan && EN[1])
              var/icon/M = new(icon)
          M.SwapColor(rgb(000,000,000),rgb(180,0,0))
          M.SwapColor(rgb(11,11,11),rgb(220,50,50))
          icon = M

       src.icon=icon
obj
    layer=FLOAT_LAYER-1
    sharingan
       icon='icons/yoursharinganeyefilename.dmi'

As far as the topic title saying overlay, you could do, as an example

mob/var/sharingan = 0

mob
    verb
        Sharingan()
             user.overlays += 'yoursharinganeyefilename.dmi'
             user << "Sharingan!"
             usr.sharingan=1
             spawn()
                while(user && user.sharingan)
                   sleep(600)
                   if(user && user.sharingan==1)
                      user.sharingan=0
                      user.overlays-= 'yoursharinganeyefilename.dmi'
