JC>     int &player = id[j].controller-1;
How does that help?  The compiler should, at the least, complain it has to 
create a temporary for the reference to refer to.
Get rid of the &.
{And, due to the complexity of the original, I'll assume it was just pure 
confusion that led to the incorrect "player" - it should be 
data[id[j]].controller-1, if I read it correctly}
 JC> pointer[data[id[j]].controller - 
 JC> 1][k[data[id[j]].controller - 1]] = id[j];
