Hi guys
I had coded a very basic water script for testing purpose.

+ Code Snippet

function plrinwater_init(e)
end

function plrinwater_main(e)
	if GetGamePlayerControlInWaterState() == 1 then 
		SetGamePlayerControlUnderwater() -- player died underwater
		SetUnderwaterOn()
		Prompt("Player in water")
	else
		SetUnderwaterOff()
		Prompt("Player out water")
	end
end

It works fine, except for a small detail, player died when underwater.

Since "command used by the default player control mechanism" do not tell nothing to me, I had used the most likely to be the accurate one "SetGamePlayerControlUnderwater()", with not to avail.

am I missing something?

Thanks in advance for all tips

I would imagine you have to check out the control script and alter that to avoid death by drowning. I don't think there's a simple way to enable disable with those commands. I would think that the commands would be more for visuals or simple flags for the code to work with. I'd check out the gameplayercontrol script and look for the drowning part of the script to disable or delay drowning. The code to kill you exists there

Yes, I think so; anyway I want to be sure about. However would be cool to have one LUA command to enter in "swing mode".
Ty DVader for the tip.

Just change this

DrownPlayer(-1,200)

to this

DrownPlayer(-1,0)

That will stop you drowning entirely

You could also reduce it to drown more slowly. There's a timer command you could alter as well to slow/speed the breathing effect.

I've missed that command, definitelly I was missing something.

Ty again Dvader, it works.

Now I should work with breathing effect, even some kind of air bar metter, like FPS does.
And why not, an oxygen bottle that allows you to stay longer under water.
