is there a way to do location specific damage in QC?

The only thing you'll do is rough estimation by vector height and that's stupid

Arguable. Might be the 'wrong' way to do things - but could you spawn multiple entitys for the head etc and set them to SOLID_BSP (per poly collision?), doing away with the BBOX?

Of course this is all pointless if setting the head as a tag_entity means it doesn't get checked for collisions - which I'm not sure on.

//DP_GFX_QUAKE3MODELTAGS
//idea: id Software
//darkplaces implementation: LordHavoc
//field definitions:
.entity tag_entity; // entity this is attached to (call setattachment to set this)
.float tag_index; // which tag on that entity (0 is relative to the entity, > 0 is an index into the tags on the model if it has any) (call setattachment to set this)

It's possible that you could cook up some hack for headshots. If the traceline hits the monster's box, then check manually if the line also intersects some hard-coded smaller box representing the monster's head...
