[1.7.2.]Player drowning onEntityUpdate

[nekpek]

Hello There. I run into a small issue which i cannot for the life of me figure out.

So here is my problem

 

I am making a "potion effect" which when active should make you loose air.

The problem however  is, when i decrease the air from the player with player.setAir(par1);

but it instantaneous replenish the air supply because the player is not in water.

i cannot figure out how to stop this.

i looked into how it "stops" it while under water and its code is private or protected in the entity class.

so i cannot change the  "player.inwater" to true from the eventhandler.

 

if you need any code i can post them.

the event does work (as i am using it for other potion effects) but i can still post it if relevant.

I went for another round, i thought it through an chose to just damage the player with DamageSource.drown as the source.
