Health: float

Health is a property of Humanoid that determines the current health of a character. Whenever the health becomes zero or below, the character dies. If a player's character dies, the player respawns after a certain amount of time. The MaxHealth property specifies the maximum health. Like other Humanoid properties, the health properties, along with other health-related properties, can be manipulated by a script or through StarterPlayer.

Roblox uses a health bar to show how much health a character has. There are two main health bars that are shown: the GUI within the HUD that displays the health of the player's character (along with the red flashes around the screen that appear whenever the player is hurt), and the health bar shown above other characters. Both can be changed through the Roblox API.
