Is there a way if you look at a monster's head an effect happens?

I’m working on a backrooms game, and I have a monster that makes your sanity drop when you look at him. Is there a way for this? I made it so the effect happens when it looks at you.
local larm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)
local rarm = script.Parent:FindFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)

function findNearestTorso(pos)
local list = game.Workspace:GetChildren()
local torso = nil
local dist = 15
local temp = nil
local human = nil
local temp2 = nil
for x = 1, #list do
temp2 = list[x]
if (temp2.className == “Model”) and (temp2 ~= script.Parent) then
temp = temp2:findFirstChild(“HumanoidRootPart”)
human = temp2:findFirstChild(“Humanoid”)
if (temp ~= nil) and (human ~= nil) and (human.Health > 0) then
if (temp.Position - pos).magnitude < dist then
torso = temp
dist = (temp.Position - pos).magnitude
end
end
end
end
return torso
end

while true do
wait(math.random(1,5))
local target = findNearestTorso(script.Parent.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
if target ~= nil then
script.Parent.NPC:MoveTo(target.Position, target)
script.Parent.UpperTorso[“Weird Static Sound”]:Play()
script.Parent.Head.Decal.Transparency = 0
game.Lighting.JumpscareCorrection.Enabled = true
wait(3)
script.Parent.Head.Decal.Transparency = 0
game.Lighting.JumpscareCorrection.Enabled = false

end

end

if you use the players lookvector as the direction for a ray caste and that gets a hit for the monsters head then you can fire the effect.

not necessary the head. It could be any part of the body, since raycasting is so strict. Because if, for example, the target is in front of you, but a bit to the right, the raycast may miss. But the target is still in front of you

you could use as many ray casts as you wish at slightly different variants of the lookVector.

It would probably be more efficient to use a dot product of the monster’s direction and the direction of the player relative to the monster.
