Troubles with moving in air. c#

Unity Engine
1

Hello, i’ve started a new project with a friend of mine.
the idea is that you play a rolling barrel.
I’ve got the barrel rolling and jumping, but i just can’t figure out how to let it move in air.
so that when i jump, i can still move a bit to left and right in air.
At this time, when i jump i’m not able to move once i’m in the air.
I’d like to be able to move in air with a counterbalance, so that if i jump right, i don’t instantly move left if i press A.

the script i have now:

#pragma strict

public var rotationSpeed = 100;
public var jumpHeight = 8;
public var walkSpeed = 3;

private var isFalling = false;


function Update ()
{
    //Handle ball rotation.
    var rotation : float = Input.GetAxis ("Horizontal") * rotationSpeed;
    rotation *= Time.deltaTime;
    GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().AddRelativeTorque (Vector3.up * rotation);
   
    if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.Space) && isFalling == false)
    {
        GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().velocity.y = jumpHeight;
    }
   
    isFalling = true;
   
    //if (Input.GetKeyDown(KeyCode.D) && isFalling == true)
    //{
    //    GetComponent.<Rigidbody>().velocity.x = walkSpeed;
    //}
   
}

function OnCollisionStay ()
{
    isFalling = false;
}

I really hope someone can help me figure this out.

Thanks in advance!

I was looking deeper into the code, and one thing i noticed is that i can’t use AddRelativeTorque in the mid air movement because torue is like pushing it to rotate, shouldn’t i be doing something with AddForce?
