             float moveVertical = Input.GetAxis ("input.Vertical");
 
             Vector3 movement = new Vector3(moveHorizontal, 0.0f, moveVertical);

on line 13, you're passing a TYPE, the type is Vector3, it expected the type to be constructed and qualified.

 GetComponent<Rigidbody>(Vector3);

should have a value of some sort.

 GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(new Vector3(1.1f, 2.5f, 0));

Vector3 also supplies simple Vector3 objects(forward, back, etc.) which you can see as static variables that return Vector3 objects, this is described at the beginning of the Vector3 documentation.

@Landern i'm very sorry as i'm just trying to learn to code but what do the values represent? (1.1f, 2.5f, 0) are these supposed to be the coordinate of the object i'm trying to put input into? i tried putting exactly what you put as a example and it now has one error stating:"No overload for method 'GetComponent' takes '1' arguments"

Are you trying to get the rigidbody to move? Try this:

 GetComponent<Rigidbody>().AddForce(movement);

See here: http://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/Rigidbody.AddForce.html

Thats a Windows issue. Open Unity in Ad$$anonymous$$ mode. This QA is answered.
