# flick proc

### Format
> `flick(Icon,Object)`

### Args
- `Icon`: An icon file or state name.
- `Object`: The target object.


Cause the icon attached to Object to be temporarily replaced with the specified icon or icon state for the duration of the animation. This is a purely visual effect and does not effect the actual value of the object's icon variable.

```dm /flick/
flick('blink.dmi',usr) //show another icon
flick("fight",usr)     //show usr's fight state
```

The target object may be any atom or image.
