How do I make a bot wait between doing actions or saying things? Do I change
the aw_wait time? or is there another command that I can use to pause the
bot for a certain amount of seconds? I am using MS Visual C++

Thanks,

aw_wait can be used, as is seen in the AW SDK sample program #2 (the DJ).
That's the way I'd advise you to do it, though if you're using MFC, there
are others...

I wouldn't use aw_wait as a timer because it was never designed for that purpose.

You would probably be better off doing something like this (pseudocode):

int StartTime, CurrentTime;
StartTime = time(NULL);

while((CurrentTime - StartTime) < MILLISECONDS)
{
CurrentTime = time(NULL)
aw_wait(0);
}

Not designed for that purpose, but that didn't stop the fine people at AW ;)

Anyways, the alternative is to include time.h - I don't have my K&R on hand
(:O) so I can't tell you how to do it, but I know that you get a time_t
struct with all sorts of time information..

Actually, I've been informed that my code is a bad idea ;)

You could always have the bot start a Windows Timer and wait for that to be triggered before continuing...
