MervBot: what would be the best way to determine if a player is carrying the ball for like # seconds?

um, start a timer for x seconds when they pickup the ball?

[CypherJF]

What if they throw it :/ and what if theres 2 more balls or w/e :/ LOl akai... im not _that_ dumb

Well I'm not sure about this (I've never used the soccer functions of MERV), but the PBall struct has a 'carrier' member. Possibly have the bot check every EVENT_BallMove and see if there is a carrier.

Code: Show/Hide struct PBall {    Uint16 x, y;    Sint16 xvel, yvel;    Uint16 team;    Uint16 ident;    Uint16 carrier;    Uint32 time;         // Local timestamp on event (not constant)    Uint32 hosttime;      // Remote timestamp on event (constant until new event)    Uint32 lastrecv;      // Last update recv time (for timeout) };

test out some of those time variables, i have no idea what catid's comments mean so its trial and error. If worse comes to worse, you can keep track of EVENT_BallMove , the ball->carrier will be ==0xFFFF if the ball is uncarried. Else it will be the p->ident of the player

Also I think if the ball is being carried, time will be 0.

Code: Show/Hide PID   TIME      MEANING FFFF  00000000  ball removed from play FFFF  xxxxxxxx  ball set/spawned xxxx  00000000  ball carried by pid xxxx  xxxxxxxx  ball passed by pid
