Water Breathing that doesn't work?

[evileva]

Here's a quick question for you guys: any idea why the Water Breathing effect wouldn't actually work in a game?

 

I'm running it with Project Nevada installed on Hardcore (if that last bit matters) and I have a few items in the game that can add the water breathing effect to players - but I didn't notice the problem existed until getting the rebreather from the Boomers. And only then when I drowned getting the bomber from the lake.

 

I don't think I have another mod that alters anything or that could impact on this so I thought I'd ask you guys.

The object effect attached to the Rebreather actually does nothing and is just there to show the effect text in the Pip-Boy. There's a script on the item that applies a hidden separate effect to the player called VMS15WaterBreathingActual that gives you water-breathing when it is equipped and removes it when it's not.

 

The script removes the effect from the player unless the Rebreather specifically is equipped by the player, and some mods incorrectly apply the same script to other items and will not work.

Cool, well that explains part of it. But the problem was that it didn't work when I had the rebreather (and only the rebreather) equipped. Thanks for letting me know what script to find and have a look at though, should be a good starting point to fixing this.
