A Healing Pickup

A healing pick up lets you restore some of your players health if they have lost any during your game. To create and test a pickup we must then have a way to damage our player so they can run over the pickup and restore their health.

Create some lava

A quick method of damaging the player is to create a lava part that delivers damage to the characters Humanoid. After we add a script to our lava part, and create a Touched event we can use the TakeDamage() method on the humanoid to damage the character each time they run over the lava.

Humanoid:TakeDamage(20)

Healing Pickup

The properties of the humanoid that we want to use are Health, and MaxHealth.

We can create a conditional statement that allows the player to pickup and heal if their health is less than their max health.

local amtToHeal = 20
if hum.Health < hum.MaxHealth then
	hum.Health += amtToHeal
end

This should be enough to test. Play the game and run over the lava a couple of times to see their health bar decrease in the top right of the screen. Then run over the health pickups to restore the players health.
