Some beacons are pre-damaged, while others are not (regardless of chosen event)

Disclaimers

• I have searched the issue tracker to check if the issue has already been reported.
• My issue happened while using mods.

What happened?

Even when triggering the "empty" eventset containing Shockjock2 (also see #14808), beacons get damaged, the NPC drowns, so you do not trigger the SetDataAction that prevents the event from repeating.

Shockjock2 doesnt power the beacon either, so the pumps don't work and neither does the O2
O Kelly tries to weld it, but since water never goes down he eventually dies

As a result you get infinite Maurices and dead O'Kellies

Reproduction steps

Beacons arent supposed to take damage if the empty eventset is selected, so something fishy is happening

Edited title, this really is two different issues and Infinite Maurice glitch has been fixed and merged already.
