I have an icon game in which you can define a "custom" building object. My aim is to have three to five of these custom building objects, where the first time you click it, it asks you for a file to use. What I wanna know is, how can I refer to that file every time the player clicks the verb so it just builds it after they define the file?

I think this is like what you want:
mob/var/icon/icon_selection
obj/custom_build_obj
    Click()
        if(!usr.icon_selection)
            usr.icon_selection=input(usr,"Choose an icon.","Custom Build Object")as icon
        else
            //whatever you want to do with it goes here

In response to Loduwijk (#1)
I'd probably take out the else there, so that it builds the first time you click it as well. Nothing major.
