How to get the effect "Water Breathing" works?

[VikingII]

In GECK -> Game Effects -> Object Effect, I made a new enchantment with the effect “Water Breathing” (this effect has nothing to set except that I can add a condition). But it doesn’t work (when all other enchantments I tested works perfectly). What does I am doing wrong?

It looks to me like the Waterbreathing base effect does nothing since there is no magnitude allowed.

 

Make a copy of the WaterBreathing base effect and untick the 'no magnitude' box.

In the object effect, make the magnitude of the base effect 1

 

Waterbreathing is an actor value and it needs to be non-zero to work.

 

At the console, you can:

Player.GetAV waterbreathing <enter>

 

to test if your object effect is working.

 

You can also set it at the console just to play around:

Player.SetAV Waterbreathing 1 <enter>

Yes, I have downloaded the two mods ho offers helmets with waterbreathing and both solve the situation via scripts, so, it looks like this effect is useless in the editor.
