Pong ball / Void awake

My code does not work, anyone can help I want to move my ball when I test my game.
I'm making a pong game.
I'm also using a selfmade ball, not made with unity.

Here is my code:

Code (CSharp):

1. public class Ball : MonoBehaviour {
2.     void awake()
3.                    
4.     {
5.         GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce (4, 0, 0, ForceMode.Impulse);
6.        
7.     }
8. }

 

captial A for Awake. makes all the difference

 

It says there is no rigidbody attached to the gameobject.
Do I need to use rigidbody? Is there another way to tell what to do with my Ball gameobject.

 

if you want to use AddForce, you need a rigidbody, just add one in the inspector or add one in your script

Code (csharp):

1.  
2. void Awake(){
3. Rigidbody rg = this.AddComponent("Rigidbody") as Rigidbody;
4. rg.AddForce(4, 0, 0, ForceMode.Impulse);
5. }
6.  

sounds like you need to look at some tutorials first and foremost though.
