Set health

playerHealthSet(player, float)

Remarks

At the moment, this method expects a raw value the game uses to specify health. Maximum health is based off of the mission data, so some maps use value 200, while others can be over 600.

We will make sure health is uniform on the server-side, but right now, you need to set health to 200 if you want full health on freeride map.
