Item that can change Player.AirCapacity?

I'm trying to make a Metroidvania Doom mod, and I want to make an item to permanently change the player's air capacity so they could be able to go through parts of different levels that are full of water without drowning.
I've found a few other methods like making a powerup item that nullifies drowning damage, but they end up not being able to be carried across into other maps.

Is the MAPINFO AirSupply parameter any use to you?

AirSupply = <amount>
Specifies the time in seconds the player can remain under water without taking damage. Setting this to 0 allows the player to stay under water indefinitely. The default setting is 20 seconds which can be quite short if you wish to use extensive water areas within your map.

Wouldn't that make it where the player has infinite air capacity in a map regardless of if they have the item meant for expanding air capacity?

Yes, that's why I wasn't sure if it would be of use to you.

I'm sure what you are trying to do will be possible via zscript but I'm not familiar enough with it yet to say how.

Drop it on gzdoom and print in console "give gills".
Also, I write it in notepad, so there are, probably, be errors.

Oh wow, it works. Thanks.
I really, really should start doing ZScript now.
