Hi.
I'm trying to make a FPs in which the only way to kill a baddie is by shooting him in the head.
I wondered if there was a way to detect a collision using an object and a specific object's limb (i.e the head).

Just put a collision box inside the head.

wouldn't it be slow taking into account that there may be over 50+ baddies on the scene?

Not if you code it only to check for a collision in front of the gun.

Any ideas on how to make an accurate col. box for a head?

Doesn't seems to work. I'm trying to make a box arround a character's head.

You need it inside the head. Collision always works best that way. If your head was skimmed by a bullet, it might not kill you anyway, especially if you include the ears. Fit a cube inside the head, and make the player shoot more accurately. It's not to hide the cube, you can always make the cube invisible, it's just to make the game more realistic.

Anyway, size wise, you can just keep changing the size until it fits. You don't have to do any fancy calculations.
