===Game-Generated Ball - sportsball:spawn===

*Will not display scripted navs
*Like the Ball [only] object, this ball can be selected using the sportsball:surprise:bject label in mods, for TRACKING, changing spawn order, labels, etc. even before it's picked up off spawn plate
*In the Assault game mode, this ball takes on the Team property of the carrier who holds it, selectable in mods (not so with Ball [only] object)
*Does not respond to "Despawn" (Ball [only] object does)
*Instantly respawns (no explosion) when dropped in a Kill Zone or Timed Kill Zone (this doesn't work for Ball [only])
*Kill Zone also despawns the "Ghost Ball" on spawn plate, but doesn't stop "Incoming" nav
*When thrown point settings are on (as in Ricochet settings), the "Ghost Ball" over a Ball Spawn Plate will arm if it's placed in a Ball Return score zone but not explode. Then it will crash the game!
*You can script the game-generated ball to Phased, but it returns to its Normal behavior after a few ticks. If you script it to Phased repeatedly, you can keep it in a Phased condition. You can still pick it up.
*<span style="color: #0080ff">The game-generated Ball can be removed from a player & despawned by teleporting the carrier to an out-of-bounds region of a map.  Some maps have out-of-bounds regions that cause players to respawn instead of killing them.  This forced player respawn technique (affectionately named the YEET technique) can be used to despawn a game-generated ball without killing the carrier.</span>

*This solves the GOTCHA for multi-round ball game modes (especially Grifball) by despawning the ball just before time runs out so that the current ball doesn't interfere with the next round's ball spawning process
