Im my rpg if your a witch you can do a fusion type spell and I wanted to know how I could like blend the two players icons or something so some of them looks like one player and some looks like the other?

This may or may not work. It will look interesting though :D. 
mob/verb/Fusion(mob/M as mob)
    src.icon += M.icon

I dont think that'll work because once instead of adding overlays i tried to add them to the icon...but that didnt work. Thanks anyway!

You can add one icon to another and it will change a bit.

I tried adding the icons together but it doesnt even change the icons...

Id just add the one players icon as an overlay, and dither the overlay. Someone has a dithering demo.

That sounds good but might look kinda weird o.0 but imma try it

Also for the name after they do the fusion how do i make half of one players the beggining and half of the others the end?

You would have to use copytext, but:
A) Im not sure how to do that, and
B) It might get messed up because of different lengths of names

To make it not mess up couldnt i just make it either do the beggining half of one person and the end half of another?

yep, some copytext()'s and length()'s are all you need:
mob/verb/Mergenames(mob/M in world)
    var/newname="[copytext(usr.name,1,length(usr.name)/2+1)+copytext(M.name,(length(M.name)/2)+1,length(M.name)+1)]"
    usr<<"[usr.name]+[M.name]=[newname]"

Thanks! This is what I have overall: (Note the client.eye stuff its commented out because i was testing on a non player to see if everythign worked.) 
            var/random = rand(1,2)
            var/newname
            if(random == 1)
                newname = "[copytext(src.name,1,length(src.name)/2+1)+copytext(M.name,(length(M.name)/2)+1,length(M.name)+1)]"
            if(random == 2)
                newname = "[copytext(M.name,1,length(M.name)/2+1)+copytext(src.name,(length(src.name)/2)+1,length(src.name)+1)]"
            M.icon += 'Dither75.dmi'
            src.overlays += M
            M.icon = null
//          M.client.eye = src
//          M.client.perspective = EYE_PERSPECTIVE
            world << "[src] and [M] fuse to make [newname]!"


I think im going to have to change the part where their icon becomes one cause it looks a bit funky...

Why do you have src.overlays += M ? Try just adding M.overlays to src.overlays, adding all of M isn't wise.

Ooh its Raekwon...I dunno why I did that...Do you think you could help me with making them "Blend" together when they fuse? (Since you have a really good DBZ game and I think it has fusing in it :p)

Then try this then: 
mob/verb/Fusion(mob/M as mob)
    src.icon.Blend(M.icon,function=ICON_ADD)

In response to Jon88
It says that its an undefined proc...But isnt Blend a built-in proc?

In response to Koolguy900095
Oookay... it's workaround time!
mob/verb/Fusion(mob/M as mob)
    var/icon/I = src.icon //If this doesn't work, try var/icon/I = icon(src.icon)
    I.Blend(M.icon,function=ICON_ADD)
    src.icon = I

I see no reason why that shouldn't work. It's possible that the result won't be very good, though.

- Make it where there is a base witch who makes up atleast 55% to 70% of the merged witch, oh and call it merging not fusion. Fusion can either attract dbz peeps, or can make people think its something its not. Besides merging sounds more original.
