So, all character states are in one dmi file. When the game logs on I want a character selection screen.

The question is how do I put multiple icon states as a choice when the game logs on?

I think your referring to the an input proc with the choices in a list.
<dm>
mob
icon='icon.dmi'
Login()
icon_state=input("What do you look like?") in list("Tall","Short","Medium","AWESOME")
//You should look up the input proc in the reference, and you should read the DM guide, also.

Thanks, it's fixed now, I forgot about "in".

If you have a large number of icon states, you could look at the IconStates() proc.
