I don't understand this AddForce error I'm getting.

Unity Engine

I’m pretty new to this, and actually almost completely new to javascript, but I’m trying to learn through experience and I’m already having trouble. A day ago I’d gotten AddForce to work properly in CSharp, but I’ve changed my mind and decided to go through javascript instead, and I can’t really get it to work. I was watching some videos earlier today and they said it was a good idea to cache a function for optimization, so I wrote it exactly how they did. Here’s my script:

#pragma strict

private var MyRig = Rigidbody;

function Start () {

}

function FixedUpdate () {
var balljump = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space);

if(balljump){
MyRig.AddForce(transform.up * 50);
}

}

I’ve tried rewriting it to exclude the variable cache, and it still didn’t work. The error I keep getting is:

Assets/Scripts/Ballcontrol.js(13,7): BCE0019: ‘AddForce’ is not a member of ‘System.Type’.

Declare type of variable:

private var MyRig : Rigidbody;

function Start () {
     MyRig = Rigidbody;
}

I’m getting a different error now,

“Assets/Scripts/Ballcontrol.js(9,14): BCE0022: Cannot convert ‘System.Type’ to ‘UnityEngine.Rigidbody’.”

My current script:

#pragma strict

private var MyRig : Rigidbody;

function Start () {

MyRig = Rigidbody;

}

function FixedUpdate () {
var balljump = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space);

if(balljump)
{
MyRig.AddForce(transform.up * 50);
}

}

Use code tags, please.

?

#pragma strict

function FixedUpdate () {
var balljump = Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space);

if(balljump)
{
rigidbody.AddForce(transform.up * 50);
}

}
