Touch Force on 3D Object
Okay, so I know that this is going to sound like a super vague question and I'm sorry but I've been searching all over the internet on how to get what I want working and I just can't find it. I'm trying to create a simple mobile game for my brother in law's birthday. It is going to play like one of those cat ball towers and I want the player to tap on the ball to keep it going around the tower for as long as possible. I have everything set up from the assets to the UI but I just can't figure out how to get the balls to move when they are touched as I've never done a 3D game that is not controlled by more traditional directional controls. I know this is asking a lot but could someone point me in the right direction to help me get this done.
P.S. Below is a link to what kind of toy I am talking about.
Okay, I'm still desperately looking for a way to apply force to an object along a spline. If anyone out there knows how to make this happen please let me know!
Sounds like you want the ball to follow a "path" or a spline. When the player presses the screen, cast a ray from the camera into world space (just as if the player clicked the mouse on the screen). There are plenty of tutorials around for that.

If the player clicks on the ball, make that ball increase a speed value that moves it along a spline.
Heres a spline tutorial :http://catlikecoding.com/unity/tutorials/curves-and-splines/
The tutorial covers "walking" along the spline.
That was definitely what I needed. The spline method was something I had never used and works much better than how I was trying to set it up. I understand the onclick portion of the code I just didn't know if that worked the same on mobile as it would on a PC. I can't seem to find a method to apply force on the object along the spline when clicked on though.
