security Using functions as setElementHealth clientside

[Yazir]

Hello there. I have been wondering if using functions like setElementHealth clientside is safe and if not, why there is such function for client and would it be effective with connection to serversided anti-cheat?

I've tried this already and what happened is:

I made something server side and set the health to 100.

Then i set the health of that object to 50 on client side

I then attacked the element and the health went back to the server side's health minus the damage.

It's safe.

Oh. So it has to be serverside. Thanks!

I've checked it today and it seems like even after changing HP serverside, clientside still works normally. It still changes hp.

It's not a problem but just saying.

These functions work with elements that are synced by said client
