1. How would I set so that the users target2 variable is the one that gets attacked by whatever spell they are about to use but still retain the value of M so that I don't have to use my old DC(M) proc. 
mob
    DblClick()
        if(src == usr||get_dist(src,usr) >= 10)return 
        for(var/image/x in usr.client.images) 
            if(x.icon=='flash.dmi') 
                del(x) 
        var/image/I = image('flash.dmi',src) 
        usr<<I 
        usr.target2=src 

mob
    verb
        Dagger_Throw(mob/M as mob)
            if(usr.doing==0)
                if(usr.Daggers>=1)
                    usr.doing=1
                    missile(/obj/magic/overlays/SwordMissile1,usr,M.loc)
                    var/hitrmiss=rand(1,10)


2. How do I color text? [font color=red] doesn't work(can't use html arrows on this page or it will work >.>).

For the first question, I haven't the slightest idea what you're asking.

For the second question, you have to add the quotes, but you have to escape them, e.g.:

world << "<font color=\"red\">If you want blood  --  You've got it!</font>


Would show <font color="red">If you want blood -- you've got it!</font>

Thanks. For the first part, I'm wondering how to throw a dagger at target2 and no one else

Use target2 instead of M.

Would that still retain the value of the users target?

See, my real problem here is that if I change it to target2 instead of M, it will attack a random on of the mobs if they're all the same. I want it to attack the selected person that is selected by double clicking the person you want to attack.

Then you're doing it wrong, because that's not what would happen.

Then could you please explain what to do to fix this problem then?

Use target2 instead of M.

Just replace M with target2? Tried that. It acts just like M
