BAM Why is BallInfo.Id not equal to the BallID?

[madmrmax]

If I've created a ball in a kicker with a specific ball ID (say 42), why doesn't the xBam.BallCloseTo().ID give me 42? It only returns -1.

Is there some other property on BallInfo that returns the BallID?

    call PlungerKicker.CreateBall(,,,42)
    
    dim kickerObjInfo: set kickerObjInfo = xBAM.FindObject(PlungerKicker.Name)
    dim kickerBall: set kickerBall = xBam.BallCloseTo(kickerObjInfo.Position.X, kickerObjInfo.Position.Y, kickerObjInfo.Position.Z)

    addDebugText "kickerball ID = " & kickerBall.Id

Has anyone used BallInfo.Id before and know what it is supposed to represent?
