Presuming that you intend it as a dynamic shape I'm sorry to say that it's not possible to make a "script only" thing.
I suggest you to download the "bouncing boulder" resource that implements a new class of dynamic shapes whose physics is directly stripped from the vehicle code.

It means that the "ball" will respond to impacts, gravity, friction and so on.... (it's an "almost" Ode integration..:))

The resource is quite easy to implement, thought you have to recompile part of the code.

Hope it helps.

Say you wouldn't happen to have a link to that would you? I've been searching and can't seem to find it, but it sounds cool.
