Consider looking at the roblox docs page: https://create.roblox.com/docs/reference/engine/classes/Humanoid#Health

" Regeneration

If there is no Script named “Health” within StarterCharacterScripts, a passive health regeneration script is automatically inserted. This causes players’ characters to spawn with the same health regeneration script, which adds 1% of MaxHealth to Health each second, while the Humanoid is not dead. To disable this health regeneration behavior, add an empty Script named “Health” to StarterCharacterScripts. "

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

local regenDelta = 5 --// Health increase per second

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    local character = player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
    local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

    local maxHealth = humanoid.MaxHealth

    while player.Character do
        humanoid.Health = math.min(humanoid.Health + regenDelta, maxHealth)
        task.wait(1)
    end
end)

Also (I provided a script bcuz it was pretty ez)

Roblox’s default script:

-- Gradually regenerates the Humanoid's Health over time.

local REGEN_RATE = 1/100 -- Regenerate this fraction of MaxHealth per second.
local REGEN_STEP = 1 -- Wait this long between each regeneration step.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

local Character = script.Parent
local Humanoid = Character:WaitForChild'Humanoid'

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

while true do
	while Humanoid.Health < Humanoid.MaxHealth do
		local dt = wait(REGEN_STEP)
		local dh = dt*REGEN_RATE*Humanoid.MaxHealth
		Humanoid.Health = math.min(Humanoid.Health + dh, Humanoid.MaxHealth)
	end
	Humanoid.HealthChanged:Wait()
end

Well I think this is the solution. Your script is correct but I want to also make some values and things inside of lighting destroy for the client when the loop is finished, how would I go about doing that?

If you want to run code once the loop ends/when character dies you can place it after the while since the while loop will prevent execution of code after it until it breaks

So like this?

	local Regeneration = 5
	local MaximumHealth = HumanoidCharacterTarget.MaxHealth

	while VictimCharacter do
		if VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Corpse") and VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Ghost") then
			VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Corpse"):Destroy()
            VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Ghost"):Destroy()
		end
        local Revived = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
        Revived.Parent = VictimCharacter
        Revived.Name = "Revived"
		HumanoidCharacterTarget.Health = math.min(HumanoidCharacterTarget.Health + Regeneration, MaximumHealth)
		task.wait(1)
	end

You are creating an ObjectValue every time the loop runs, place it outside the loop

Okay so like this?

	while VictimCharacter do
		HumanoidCharacterTarget.Health = math.min(HumanoidCharacterTarget.Health + Regeneration, MaximumHealth)
		task.wait(1)
	end  
	if VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Corpse") and VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Ghost") then
		VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Corpse"):Destroy()
		VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Ghost"):Destroy()
	end
	local Revived = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
	Revived.Parent = VictimCharacter
	Revived.Name = "Revived"
end

Basically I am trying to make an revival ability, I already setup a system for when the character dies and they press a button they’d basically just sit there and see a ghostly atmosphere/background until someone uses the revival ability on them and they’d regenerate to full health and once they are at full health the lighting destroys along with the values that’s required for the ability to work.

Would this even work by the way? Because If I am not wrong when you die your humanoid goes into died mode so wouldn’t I need to change the mode once the loop is finished or? Also would destroying just that players lighting work within the script (the script is inside of a ModuleScript)?

Oh ryt in that case the code should be something like this:

local Revived = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
Revived.Parent = VictimCharacter
Revived.Name = "Revived"

while VictimCharacter and HumanoidCharacterTarget.Health < MaximumHealth do
	HumanoidCharacterTarget.Health = math.min(HumanoidCharacterTarget.Health + Regeneration, MaximumHealth)
	task.wait(1)
end

if VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Corpse") and VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Ghost") then
	VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Corpse"):Destroy()
	VictimCharacter:FindFirstChild("Ghost"):Destroy()
end

Thanks a lot for your help, can you answer this question though?

No lighting can only be changed from client scripts

In that case you need to call the while loop once the revival ability has been triggered

Well, you never hinted that this system would work after the character dies. In that case you can turn CharacteAutoLoads off (but then you have to clone ui stuff; its a hassle) or tp the character to somewhere else and run the while loop after checking if the player died or not.

Okay well is there a way to run a LocalScript forever and make it so if the Revived value is found then it’d destroy the lighting that I want destroyed?

Yep, here’s how:

local LocalPlayer = Players.Character
local Character = LocalPlayer.Character

Character.ChildAdded:Connect(function(child)
    if child:IsA("ObjectValue") and child.Name == "Revived" then
        --// Destroy lighting
    end
end)

And where would I place the script? Like what location.

Client side (StarterPlayerScripts) cuz afaik lighting is only accessible from client side
