That's a problem,
Try adding a dropper instance Instead

And add this instance

lol your link went to a page that said "There is currently no text in this page"
That;s ok, I really appreciate everyone trying to help. I thought I was losing my mind. Clearly its some kind of bug or a change in the way they make balls, I just don't know. I'll start looking into the dropper, but thats new ground for me.
Thanks again to all who tried to help.
Yeah, the link had a parenthese cut off,
It should work one, and no bug should happen, anyway, the dropper is easier than you think.
ah yeah. well ok but what if I just want a ball? This has to be a bug.
Actually, the cubes show up weirdly in Hammer; though it doesn't look like a sphere, if you compile the map, it should be one,
you were right. Thanks a ton!

He is right 
It is the same for me

Have you actually tested the map? It should become a sphere in-game. Don't forget to compile your map first.
