Create a "free" rolling ball controlled by player

Question

So I asked t$$anonymous$$s question a couple weeks ago but I didn't get a response that worked. What I'm trying to figure out is how I can make a cube controlled by a player roll freely. Not just a rolling animation, but more of a roll due to physics. So I wouldn't need to make around 30 animations just for it to roll. Here is an example of what I would like to figure out how to do: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuyiItRJ6EE (Marble blast ultra) just the rolling mechanism in it. Help on t$$anonymous$$s would be greatly appreciated. T$$anonymous$$ngs I have already tried (May have missed some):

Adding a Rigidbody to the sphere
Using animations on the sphere.
And yes, I have tried adding a texture so I know it's not rolling =(

Thanks ahead of time - Valestrom

Rigidbody
Rigidbody.AddForce
Rigidbody.AddTorque (esp. t$$anonymous$$s one)

I'll try that right away.

So now it rolls, thanks! All I should have to do now is make a character controller that adds force and torque?

I hope you can help with this, I have this as my code:

function FixedUpdate () { if (Input.GetButton("W")) { rigidbody.AddTorque (Vector3.forward 2); rigidbody.AddForce (Vector3.forward 2); } } function FixedUpdate () { if (Input.GetButton("S")) {

rigidbody.AddTorque (Vector3.-forward 2); rigidbody.AddForce (Vector3.-forward 2); } function FixedUpdate () { if (Input.GetButton("A")) { rigidbody.AddTorque (Vector3.left 2); rigidbody.AddForce (Vector3.left 2); } } function FixedUpdate () { if (Input.GetButton("D")) { rigidbody.AddTorque (Vector3.right 2); rigidbody.AddForce (Vector3.right 2); } }

But I get these errors
