How can one tell if which player if any is carring the powerball? Some source with the powerball would be helpful.

MERVBot?

EVENT_BallMove says who is carrying it

case EVENT_BallMove:
{
PBall *ball = (PBall*)event.p[0];
}

This gives me the PBall object. I need a Player object.

ball->carrier is the player's ID

and how would I get a player object from this ID?

Iterate through the player list and compare.

on a related, topic does anyone know what the unit is for in the velocities on mervBot??? a typical topspeed for a ship is around 5000 and a slow moving ship is like 200. to get it type player->vel.x . The pos.x and pos.y is in pixels if that helps?
