icon Wait for Player to Wait (+2)  
This would make it so much easier to detect a player-wait in a hold. And that would be very useful for special holds, where you need to be able to perform special actions, but still need to rotate and move, like so:

Label "Loop"
If...
Wait for Player to Wait
Answer Option "Do this" : Go to "This"
Answer Option "Do that" : Go to "That"
Answer Option "FNORD" : Go to "Hail Eris"
Question "Special Action Menu"
End If
Go to "Loop"
{Insert actions here}

See what I mean?

I think it should probably be an event...

But wait for event player waits is a good idea...
(or wait for player to wait)

Me agree with yoo three.

Yeah, yeah. Entity, seperate command, whatever. Just make a single-command way to detect a wait.
