Space Shooter Tutorial Issues

Running Unity 2018 2.18 Spaceshooter tutorial has compiler errors on player controller script. Followed the Tutorial but did not work up to this section. Even on the completed scene. Should I discontinue this tutorial?

Error after saving is:

Assets/Scripts/PlayerController.cs(14,19): error CS1061: Type `UnityEngine.Component' does not contain a definition for `velocity' and no extension method `velocity' of type `UnityEngine.Component' could be found. Are you missing an assembly reference?

Tutorial Script:

Code (CSharp):

1. using System.Collections;
2. using System.Collections.Generic;
3. using UnityEngine;
4.  
5. public class PlayerController : MonoBehaviour
6. {
7.  
8.     private void FixedUpdate()
9.     {
10.         float moveHorizontal = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
11.         float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis("Vertical");
12.  
13.         Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);
14.         rigidbody.velocity = movement;
15.      }
16. }

 

Looks like you need to add a RigidBody component to your spaceship.

 

This is discussed on the Space Shooter forum thread. Or is it Roll a Ball? One of those!
