<p><b>New page</b></p><div>The '''normal.motion''' command switches an object's [[movement mode]] to 'normal'.<br />
<br />
== Syntax ==<br />
<br />
normal.motion([[screen object|obj]] oA);<br />
<br />
== Remarks ==<br />
<br />
Object '''oA''' is set to 'normal' [[movement mode|motion (movement) mode]]. If already in normal mode, this command has no effect.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
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.<br />
<br />
The '''normal.motion''' command mode does NOT automatically switch [[ego]] to [[player.control|player control]] mode. The '''[[start.motion]]''' command also sets an object to 'normal' movement mode, but will also switch to player control mode if the object is ego.<br />
<br />
== Possible Errors ==<br />
<br />
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]].<br />
<br />
== Example ==<br />
<br />
<div class="CodeBlockHeader">Code:</div><br />
<syntaxhighlight lang="agi"><br />
wander(o1); [ object wanders aimlessly<br />
...<br />
normal.motion(o1); [ normal motion restored<br />
</syntaxhighlight><br />
