Just to make it clear - the hearing range is 200m (20 coords in each directions) 120m is the max visibility range.

First you have to query the world so the bot will get the message (it is enough to query the close vicinity of the bot). Then you should keep track of the objects (or those you are interested) in a kind of database.
Install your callback to the AW_EVENT_OBJECT_CLICK . The clicked object is uniquely identified by AW_CELL_X, AW_CELL_Z,
and AW_OBJECT_NUMBER at the callback. Do a lookup in your database for the particular object and act as you planned if you got a match.

You get it when you do the query.
Excerpt from the API help:
AW_EVENT_CELL_OBJECT
DESCRIPTION
Describes a single object in response to aw_query or aw_cell_next.
NOTES
This event is triggered in response to a call to aw_query or to
aw_cell_next. This event sets the following attributes:
AW_OBJECT_NUMBER
AW_OBJECT_OWNER
AW_OBJECT_BUILD_TIMESTAMP
AW_OBJECT_X,
AW_OBJECT_Y
AW_OBJECT_Z
AW_OBJECT_YAW
AW_OBJECT_MODEL
AW_OBJECT_DESCRIPTION
AW_OBJECT_ACTION
See Property for a description of the property query mechanism.

Sorry Ananas, you are wrong. The object click event is described in the help as :
AW_EVENT_OBJECT_CLICK
DESCRIPTION
Event called when a user left-clicks on an object in your area.
<snip>
This event is triggered whenever a nearby user left-clicks with the
mouse on an object. It will also be triggered if another nearby SDK
application calls aw_object_click. During this event, the following
attributes are defined:
AW_AVATAR_SESSION
AW_AVATAR_NAME
AW_CELL_X
AW_CELL_Z
AW_OBJECT_NUMBER
AW_AVATAR_SESSION and AW_AVATAR_NAME indicate the user
that clicked on the object. The clicked object is uniquely identified
by AW_CELL_X, AW_CELL_Z, and AW_OBJECT_NUMBER.

Clues are all over the place if you read the documentation but just in a few words:
Keep a list of all of your avatars (AW_EVENT_AVATAR_ADD and AW_EVENT_AVATAR_DELETE events) with the proper callback functions where each avatar is uniquely distinguished by the session number (AW_AVATAR_SESSION) (as M a k .. tried to explain). Pick the proper session for the whisper target and call the aw_whisper(session,message) function (I'm not a VB guy but I'm sure the wrapper has such a function).

You won't get such information. Whispers between visitors are not accessible by the bot or any other tool. The only info youi can have (from the world server's log) that "Bill whispered to Ben" nothing more!

The more the lame groups - less the ppl post. Don't forget - to open an NG you have to offer something the other (existing) groups doesn't offer. It took me some time to establish my server by offering no moderation but no flaming too. Flames have their own group :)

You can't compare plain strings with == sign (except if the operator overload is implemented).

I think HenrikG's response is the closest to your problem. AW.LIB created under MSC 6.0 or higher. 5.0 is just no compatible with it. Try to find a more up to date version of that damned MSC ++ :(((

There is no static version for Borland C++. SDK's libraries are created under MS VC and there is no compatible version for Borland. Use the libraries I created ( http://andras.net/tools.html#dlls ) or run implib on the aw.dll - works like charm for me.

Ananas is correct. Drag a TTimer to your form, set ti time period to 100 ms and within it's timer routine call aw_wait(1)
void __fastcall TForm1::Timer1Timer(TObject *Sender)
{
if (BotIsRunning) aw_wait(1); // just have 100 msec polling with 1 ms wait

Session numbers/instances has nothing to do with aw_wait(). I never set it and sometimes I have 30+ bots running at once.

Don't call aw_wait() with a long time period - it is just a waste of CPU cycles and it will slow down your program. The value given in the parameter is simply a forced idle period - nothing will happen during that time.
