I always wanted this feature. I think it would be very useful and make the bots more human like and more fun to game with.

What I would want is a new waypoint type (or possible a new wp flag).
Call it a pause wp. A number of seconds should be associated with it like 5, 10, 15, 20, seconds.

How would you use it?
Here is an example. On as_oilrig a bot runs on to the big lift and hits the button to start it in motion. The lift gets partly to the top but the dumb bot runs off before it reaches the top. We could set a one way path to the button and the next wp after the button would be a pause 10 so the bot waits until the lift is at the top.

This isn't a perfect example and I have not yet checked out the new button handling features so maybe it is better to use that now.

But I have many situations where I would use this in most every map.
It would make playing the bots more fun!
