Hi. I just downloaded BYOND today and coudl use some help.

1) How can i create an icon for a character that would change facings according to what direction the character is facing?

2) How can i add items to a characters inventory

These things can be easily found in the reference matirials in the side bar: the FAQ and the Reference are especially helpful. You aren't helpless after all! :D Now, as to your questions:

1. make a movie (edit as movie in the icon maker)
2. src.contents += new whatever
In response to Lord of Water
2. src.contents += new whatever

To expand on number 2, there are two possibilities... whichever you use depends on your mood, but be consistent. =)

new /obj/myitem(src)
src.contents += new /obj/myitem()
