You insert tabs with the Tab key (for me, it's above Caps Lock). The arrows you might be seeing come from the Show Tabs option (Ctrl+T) and are just a visible representation of the tabs that are there.
I totally agree with Kai but you can also do something like this (In case you want to save space and avoid tabs):
obj/TestOBJ{icon = 'Icons.dmi';icon_state = "obj";}


But like I said kai is 100% correct. It is a lot easier to code making use of tabs and not doing what I've just showed you (the use of {} and ; ). It is just a curiosity :P


Winter is coming....
....For the Watch (any GoT lovers? xD)
Thank you all I have fixed the issue. Just had to replace the arrows with actual tab movements. Nooby mistake hahaha
Don't worry :P It happens :) Please feel free to ask any question that you have :D
Will do. And thank you both for the help
