Roll a Ball: ball won't respond to arrow keys. following tutorial

Hey I am following the tutorials for rolling ball and i got to video number 2 and when i hit play there are no problems. Yet the keys don't work!!! Please Help!

Heres the code i used
using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;

public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {

void Awake () {
rigidbodyComponent = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
if (rigidbodyComponent == null) {
Debug.LogWarning ("noRigidbodycomponentfound,disabling");
gameObject.SetActive (false);
}
}

public float speed;

private Rigidbody rigidbodyComponent;

void Start()
{
rigidbodyComponent = GetComponent<Rigidbody> ();
}
void FixedUpdate ()
{
float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal");
float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("Vertical");

Vector3 movement = new Vector3 (moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);

rigidbodyComponent.AddForce (movement * speed);

}
}

 

What is speed set to in the inspector?

 

I tried it, too. I can't figure out how to shoot?

 

Yeah that's what it looks like to me.
Aside from that I prefer to use AddRelativeForce. I find using AddForce no matter what sends you in x,y,z not relative to your player, but the world. so if I press D, i go right. Well if I turn 90 degrees and press D, I go fowards. That's how AddForce has always worked for me at least lol.

 

That's how its intended to work in roll a ball. Using add relative force doesn't really work well when your player is a ball rolling in all directions.

 

it is at 10

 

Yeah the realtive force was a good idea, but it still didn't work.

 

I just finished that tutorial today, it works fine, but I only watched the videos. If you followed the code from somewhere else it might be a leftover from unity 4.
Here is the final code for my player controller that works.

EDIT: Check your input manager if you have the keys configured in there. Edit>Project Settings>Input

Code (CSharp):

1. using UnityEngine;
2. using UnityEngine.UI;
3. using System.Collections;
4.  
5. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour {
6.  
7.     private Rigidbody rb;
8.     private int count;
9.  
10.     public float speed;
11.     public Text countText;
12.     public Text winText;
13.  
14.     void Start()
15.     {
16.         rb = GetComponent<Rigidbody>();
17.         count = 0;
18.         SetCountText();
19.         winText.text = "";
20.     }
21.  
22.     void FixedUpdate ()
23.     {
24.         float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
25.         float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
26.  
27.         Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
28.  
29.         rb.AddForce(movement * speed);
30.  
31.      
32.     }
33.  
34.     void OnTriggerEnter(Collider other)
35.     {
36.         if (other.gameObject.CompareTag("Pick Up"))
37.         {
38.             other.gameObject.SetActive(false);
39.             count = count + 1;
40.             SetCountText();
41.         }
42.     }
43.  
44.     void SetCountText()
45.     {
46.         countText.text = "Count: " + count.ToString();
47.         if (count >= 12)
48.         {
49.             winText.text = "You Win!";
50.         }
51.     }
52. }
