I feel like there's a difference between "hard to read from your end" and intentionally "blocked"
If it works the way I think it does, health only matters on the client who has it. When it reaches 0, they die. I don't know if there's any way for a different client to tell how much it would take to kill them.
Contrary to what I just said: There is the player health variable, which might indicate it's not bound to the client, but is in fact in the 'physical' player's data.
I don't know about client-sided, but I'm sure a server mod could do it.
Port:
Clients know the health of every player, but accessing that information from TorqueScript is blocked in the engine.

There is a difference. But it's blocked. Not hard to read from the client's end. Just like Port said.
Yes, a server mod could do it very easily.

Why /are/ so many things blocked on the client? Most of it doesn't make any sense.

Has that been done? Could above-name health bars be implemented?
