Add a better way to see if a dead ball is actually dead

Some balls can stay on the ground still for a few seconds, while still being in possession of the other team..altering volley strength etc.

It's just a basic thing tbh ;p

I'm aware it might seem obvious now since there's a little blue flare sticking out..but sometimes this can be so small.

I don't think I got the timing right (maybe it would have been in possession for just half a second more, but I cudnt quit get that ss..or cudnt be arsed to be more exact), also you might not see this just as clearly with some positions in the rotation of the rings around the ball ;p ..not to mention in the heat of battle

Minor thing fix plz :p (beacon colour change? ball center colour? some LED in the ball center for new ball model?..anything more functional than the ball smoke which is practically non-existant if the ball is still)

Here; the ball is in possession of the blue team:

And here, hardly half a second later; it's a dead ball:

Note the minor difference

doesnt the ball go dead once its speed is completely 0? think if a dead ball rolls into a goal who scores?

(well ok code and last-touch can be used but hush!)

i think that used to happen with pass goals, it would be no possesion so it says " scores for blue team" instead of "guy scores for blue team" or something

If a ball turns dead on the ground, sometimes it will have been on the ground for a second or more while still being in possession ^^;

Try it out :>

Ejaculate a ball with primary so you see the smoke, and it stays in possession for quite some time.

You can see this if a player of the opposing team tries to volley the not-so-dead ball in his or her own half, it will come out as a slow defensive volley as opposed to a full powered one :p

IMO a clear indication would help a bit, and generally add for a more professional/complete feel, no?

Just a little something I thought of :p
