Humanoid.Health value not maintained upon game start

[TheSneak]

A model containing a Humanoid with Health and MaxHealth properties set to 5000 does not maintain those values when the game is played. Instead, Health reverts to 100.

This is a simple issue to duplicate. The following model contains a Humanoid with Health and MaxHealth properties set to 5000. Put this model in a new place and start it (F7). The Health property of the Humanoid will be set to 100 rather than the value 5000 that was set in Studio.

This will be fixed soon.

This is not fixed.

This has been fixed for all humanoids serialized after this point. The solution was to change this:

<float name="Health">5000</float>
<float name="MaxHealth">5000</float>

To:

<float name="Health_XML">5000</float>
<float name="MaxHealth">5000</float>

Health_XML doesn't respect the MaxHealth property, but it's nonscriptable so it can only be used by the serializer.
