size43_health = gms_other_get_real("health");
Should normally be :
size43_health = gms_other_get_real(player_id,"health");
You forgot an argument :)

It might not be able to find the player. Are you sure the player you're specifying is logged in when the code runs?
I can not test it riht now sadly because it says can not connect to gamemaker server
it is not working and yes i checked
