Could you attach a billboard of the cross to the head of the enemy through script?

A billboard is a fancy way of saying "pixel" or "flat 2D drawing" that typically always faces the camera (so you can't tell it's flat... even though you can. =\ ).

Basically, he's suggesting (if I read him correctly) attaching a flat 2D crosshair to the target on selection, whihc I don't think is what you're actually looking for.
