    Alright so first of all im new to Unity, and new to Unity Javascript and im an amateur at Programming (But im not new). So anyway I made a sphere and then I created a new script for the sphere that was supposed to add a rigidbody to the sphere and then it was supposed to make the sphere move in the x axis for a certain distance everytime function Update was called and then subtract .1 from the velocity... so I finished writing it, I saved it, made sure the script was attached to the sphere and then tested the game............. the sphere would not move and I got this error:
    MissingComponentException: There is no 'Rigidbody' attached to the "Sphere" game object, but a script is trying to access it.
    You probably need to add a Rigidbody to the game object "Sphere". Or your script needs to check if the component is attached before using it.

    MY CODE:
    #pragma strict

    function Start () {
    rigidbody.velocity.x = 15;
    var rigbody : Rigidbody;
    rigbody = gameObject.AddComponent(Rigidbody);
    }

    function Update () {
    if(rigidbody.velocity.x >0) {
    rigidbody.velocity.x -= 0.1;
    }else{
    rigidbody.velocity.x = 0;
    }
    }

    Ok so I fixed it... You have to click on your gameobject, add component, press physics, press rigidbody ;) Lol hopefully this helped somebody who had the same problem as me
