                            User.Armor = src.def
                            User.equipped.Add(src)

Problem description:

I have been trying to get overlays to work with no success. I have experimented with many demos and got them to work, but I would like to use a system in which the overlay could be defined as an icon_state other than the actual objects icon_state. Also be able to use it with the generic Use() Armor proc.
