Ball Moving program - what outside the script can prevent the ball from moving?

Unity Engine

So I’ve tried to follow the learning module for moving the ball, and I think I got everything right, but the ball won’t move. After fighting with it for hours, and reading several posts on the forums, I started the project over and simply copied the script directly from the website:

https://unity3d.com/learn/tutorials/projects/roll-ball-tutorial/moving-player?playlist=17141

It still won’t work, and as far as I can tell, I don’t have any compiler errors (I’ve never used MonoDevelop, so who knows). Thus my question: Is there something else, perhaps something not mentioned in the tutorial, that I’m missing? I have the rigidbody attached to the sphere and the script attached to the sphere. Is there a driver or something that maybe isn’t installed properly?

Nobody would know for sure without examining your project, but I’m going to take a shot in the dark and say make sure your rigidbody is not kinematic and the rigidbody constraints are turned off.

Not sure why, but I finally got it moving.
