How to make a Data store for MaxHealth/Health?

I might've asked this before but I don't know on how to make a data store for health. All I know is making data stores that are associated to leaderstats such as cash and level. I looked up online and even here but I can't seem to find anything about them that work. So here's the save data:

1function savedata(dataname, playerid, value)
2    if InStudio then return end
3    dataname:SetAsync(playerid, value)
4end

And I decided to add a starting health for the player:

1game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
2    player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(char)
3        char.Humanoid.MaxHealth = 250 --Starting Health
4        player.Character.Humanoid.Health = player.Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth --Sets player health to max
5    end)
6end)

And Health change when player levels up

`1`	`player.Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth` `=` `levelz.Value *` `50` `+` `250` `--Change 100 to the health value`

`2`	`player.Character.Humanoid.Health` `=` `player.Character.Humanoid.MaxHealth` `--Sets player health to max`

They don't have to be for saving leaderstats, but data stores can be used to do so. Simply save their health like you would save anything else User#19524 175 — 6y

But how do I make a data store for health. Like do I make Humanoid.MaxHealth or something? fr2013 88 — 6y

i know someone else answered this but you still had some question about how to do it when the maxhealth changed so here it is.

ik the OldMax Table and stuff isnt very necessary but eh

Thanks I'll trying out soon and see if it works fr2013 88 — 6y

So do i implement this into my Leaderboard script or create a new script in ServerScriptService and add it in there? fr2013 88 — 6y
