I'm trying to work with the "iconposition" entity property, and I noticed that you can't change the icon's position using "changeentityproperty"—you use the command and nothing happens. So I think—at least in version 3—"iconproperty" seems to be read-only.

However, I tried to get the iconproperty value using getentityproperty()
C-like: 
void self = getlocalvar("self");
    int iconPos = getentityproperty(self, "iconposition");
    settextobj(1, 240,  150, 2, 999999999, iconPos, 300+openborvariant("elapsed_time"));

but the engine closes with the following error:
Script function 'getentityproperty' returned an exception, check the manual for details.
parameters: #245495040, 79,

Am I doing something wrong?

You can change that "iconposition" entity property just fine, but you have to have iconposition in your character header. Doing it in script without that one in the header, leaving only icon line there, is not gonna work. By default, I placed it off screen in the header. But with script, I let it show on screen.

Looking at the 3.0 code, there is indeed no "get" code for icon position. Must have been a silly oversight. There is however, code to change icon position, so I'm not sure why that aspect isn't working for you.

C: 
 case _ep_iconposition:
    {
        if(SUCCEEDED(ScriptVariant_IntegerValue(varlist[2], &ltemp)))
        {
            ent->modeldata.icon.position.x = (LONG)ltemp;
        }
        if(paramCount > 3 && SUCCEEDED(ScriptVariant_IntegerValue(varlist[3], &ltemp)))
        {
            ent->modeldata.icon.position.y = (LONG)ltemp;
        }
        break;
    }

I'll need to dig a little deeper. I can't do it today, this is our big application deployment (the thing keeping me busy I mentioned in PM), but after that I should have more time.

In levels.txt, I did place p1icon offscreen for iconposition to show in script but did leave p2icon on screen for some reason. You don't see "iconposition" for the player 2 side under the line that's not for the bonus stage, but it's exclusively off screen with script for that. It's about having a special case on my part like you see bonus stages in the classic SF2 game where you don't see characters' lifebars above them at all.

Code: 
p1icon -56 -100 #-56 21
p2icon 262 21
