Marum's HoverBalls

Description
These hoverballs stay a configurable distance off the ground, so this means they can go up and down slopes and hills automatically! Use them to build hovercraft and pod racers!

The Tool is under the Construction Category.

Settings:
Force, Height, Air Resistance, Angular Damping and Water Hovering.

It uses the same calculations that the Jetpack, Propeller and Hover units use in my other addon, MelonWars: RTS.

------------------------------------
Side Note:
For technologic limitations, i could not make it so that the hoverballs detect props below them without flipping out when welded to something. If somebody could tell me how to properly use the filter function on util.TraceLine (which doesn't seem to ignore the entities of the table i gave it) i would really appretiate it.

Great addon but unfortunately when a hoverball is duped it stops functioning and falls to the ground and the server console spams the following error constantly until all duped balls are removed.

[marums_hoverballs] addons/marums_hoverballs/lua/entities/marums_hoverball/init.lua:56: bad argument #1 to 'SetDamping' (number expected, got nil)
1. SetDamping - [C]:-1
2. unknown - addons/marums_hoverballs/lua/entities/marums_hoverball/init.lua:56

This seems to happen only when using advanced duplicator 1 or 2, the default gmod dupe tool is fine.

Works great. One question, what exactly does "angular damping" mean? I know it's to do with how the balls adjust to the ground changing under them, but what does it actually do?

What does the height measure in? Because its not units
