Entity:GetMaxHealth does not updates automatically

Details

When I was coding my HUD addon, I realized that Entity:GetMaxHealth does not updates immediately after Entity:SetMaxHealth.
You have to jump to update the value.

Steps to reproduce

Create a lua file in autorun directory, and paste these:

if SERVER then
	AddCSLuaFile()
	Entity( 1 ):SetMaxHealth(1000)
end

if LocalPlayer then
    local function Test()
        local myplayer = LocalPlayer()
        print(myplayer:GetMaxHealth())
    end
    hook.Add( 'HUDPaint', 'Test', Test )
end

Save.
Then type in console: developer 1
Modify the player's Maximum health (the number 1000) to anything you want, and save the file to apply them in game.
Now watch the developer 1 logs. The number will not change until you jump (jump is working for all weapons, if you have Crowbar, then you can do it by left clicking too.)

This is expected behaviour - you need to set it shared otherwise the client won't know about the value until a fullupdate.

so, i should run this code in if SERVER ?

No the opposite, it should be called shared in a predicted context if possible.
