The normal.motion command switches an object's movement mode to 'normal'.
Syntax
normal.motion(obj oA);
Remarks
Object oA is set to 'normal' motion (movement) mode. If already in normal mode, this command has no effect.
While in normal motion mode, an object will not move until it is given a direction via the set.dir command. It will continue moving until it reaches an obstacle, the edge of the screen, a new direction via command, or is stopped using the stop.motion command.
Unlike the other movement modes, changing to 'normal' does not modify the updating property. The cycling property is also not modified by the normal.motion command.
Setting ego to 'normal' motion mode will NOT restore player control. You must use the player.control command.
Possible Errors
AGI does not check that object number oA is a valid screen object. If it is not, this command will overwrite other data on the memory heap, which may cause unexpected results, including possibly crashing AGI.
Example
<syntaxhighlight lang="agi"> wander(o1); [ object wanders aimlessly ... normal.motion(o1); [ normal motion restored </syntaxhighlight>
