Is it possible to amke it so that some people see someone with a certain icon ontop of them but others dont? For example: When you put your parget on someone only you see the target arrow above them (thats not what im going to use it for its the best exaple i can think of). If it is can you also amke it for the entire screen? Like all the mobs around you have a certian overlay but only you see it. What about turfs? sorry for asking so many questions

You need use image.
mob/proc/TargetMob(var/mob/M)
    src.Target=M
    if(src.client)
        var/image/I=image('Effects.dmi',M,"Target",M.layer-2,SOUTH)//use M.layer + 1 to show image above mob
        I.name="TargetUnder";src.client<<I//Now only you see Target on mob

Oh ok cool would this be possible for lots of mobs in their veiw? it proboly would be by jsut changing
mob/proc/TargetMob(var/mob/M in oview(10))
    src.Target=M
    if(src.client)
        var/image/I=image('Effects.dmi',M,"Target",M.layer-2,SOUTH)//use M.layer + 1 to show image above mob
        I.name="TargetUnder";src.client<<I//Now only you see Target on mob

Yes, just try. (Im not sure i understand your ask - poor english)
mob/verb/TargetMobs()
    for(var/mob/M in oview(10))
        src.TargetMob(M)
