**GAME MAKER 0.9 MULTIPLAYER ENHANCEMENT**
The Health component is now available in multiplayer games. Combat is still in development.\
**In multiplayer:**
* **Avatar health** is affected through the Health message, Power Up component, fall damage (relative to distance fallen), lack of oxygen, and block damage. The Avatar's health component is found under [**Spawn Point**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/behaviours/basic-logic/spawn-point-and-avatars-feature) behaviour (via **Avatar's Feature**).
* **Object health** (characters, props, etc.) is affected through messages and block damage. This page details an object's Health component.

##  Health \[SP] \[MP]
Gives an asset a life system to:
* Receive damage and healing
* Set instant death message
* Send a message when health is 0
* Respawn to [**Checkpoint**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/components/status/avatar-checkpoint) after death
* Display a Life Bar to visualise an object's health
* Set blocks to decrease or increase object health
## Common Uses
* Give an asset health so it can be killed by the Avatar.
* Display Health Bar on assets
* Kill assets as a logic tool to send precise timed messages.
* Deprecated: Used to loop/cycle logic endlessly or by message. Instead, use [**Timed Events**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/behaviours/basic-logic/timed-events) behaviour or [**Game Rules**](https://docs.sandbox.game/en/creator/game-maker/docs/game-rules) system to create loops/cycles.
