How do you make code wait for an amount of time?

For example

Code:

? WASSUPPP
wait for 5 seconds
? Yo man waaasup

messy but its how I do it

Add this code to a module:

Code:

Declare Sub Sleep Lib "kernel32" (ByVal dwMilliseconds As Long)

Then just use this where you need it:

Code:

Sleep 5000 ' Sleep for 5 seconds
