How do I set an overlay as an icon state like:

mob
do_something_that_makes_you_get_an_overlay()
src.overlay += 'overlay.dmi',"Something"



See like the overlay.dmi is there icon oviously then something is the icon state.

How would I do that?

I think icon() would work for this. Look it up(F1).

Next time use it in DM.
You can set it as a object
mob/verb/Get_Overlay()
    usr.overlays+=/obj/overlay

Sorry, let me make it more clear :/

obj/overlay{icon='icon.dmi';icon_state="X"}
mob/verb/Get_Overlay(){set name="Overlay";usr.overlays+=/obj/overlay}
mob/verb/Rem_Overlay(){set name="Remove";usr.overlays-=/obj/overlay}

=
obj
    overlay
        icon='icon.dmi'
        icon_state="X"
mob
    verb
        Get_Overlay()
            set name="Overlay"
            usr.overlays+=/obj/overlay
        Rem_Overlay()
            set name="Remove"
            usr.overlays-=/obj/overlay

I must say this, but if you were to log out, without any other support with client/Del(), those overlays would be perminant.
