hitting box question?

CodeMonster

so i want boxes in my platformer but when the actor collides with it, it will drop coins ect, but i want the actor to have to jump up and hit the bottom of the box with its head, not just walk on top, so how can i detect if the bottom of the box is hit??

Say you have Mario - just constrain a clear box to his head position that collides with the brick - that will work fine unless you have jump-through platforms.
