Advice on delaying script re-fire

[Legacy_Arawan]

               Hi all,

Using the lilac I devised the below script in order for a PC during night time to have a chance at spotting a hole leading to a cave. However, I couldnt figure out how to delay the script so it dosent fire everytime the player runs over the trigger but rather only once every 30 seconds.
I suppose its something with adding a variable or something, but just out of my reach although I have tried a few things with no success.

Also, if you spot any error in the script, please do point it out as well..

effect eEffect;
int nInt;
location lTarget;
object oSpawn;
object oTarget;

//Put this script OnEnter
void main()
{

object oPC = GetEnteringObject();

if (!GetIsPC(oPC)) return;

//Make sure it only fires at night
if (!GetIsNight())
   return;


//First skill attempt to reveal the hole. This one using search
if (GetIsSkillSuccessful(oPC, SKILL_SEARCH, 18))       //set required roll skill + d20
   {
   oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("WP_HoleCementaryHalbrook");

   lTarget = GetLocation(oTarget);

   oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "holecementhalbro", lTarget);

   oTarget = oSpawn;

   nInt = GetObjectType(oTarget);

   if (nInt != OBJECT_TYPE_WAYPOINT) DelayCommand(0.5, ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_DUST_EXPLOSION), oTarget));
   else DelayCommand(0.5, ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_DUST_EXPLOSION), GetLocation(oTarget)));

   DelayCommand(1.0, SendMessageToPC(oPC, "You found what appears to be a freshly dug hole leading down into a cave"));

   oTarget = GetObjectByTag("tr_HoleCementaryHalbrook");

   nInt = GetObjectType(oTarget);

   eEffect = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_DUST_EXPLOSION);

   if (nInt != OBJECT_TYPE_WAYPOINT)
      DelayCommand(20.0, ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, oTarget));
   else
      DelayCommand(20.0, ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, GetLocation(oTarget)));

   DelayCommand(20.0, DestroyObject(oTarget, 3.0));

   }

//Second skill attempte to reveal the hole. This one using spot
else if (GetIsSkillSuccessful(oPC, SKILL_SPOT, 18))      //set required roll skill + d20
   {
   oTarget = GetWaypointByTag("WP_HoleCementaryHalbrook");

   lTarget = GetLocation(oTarget);

   oSpawn = CreateObject(OBJECT_TYPE_PLACEABLE, "holecementhalbro", lTarget);

   oTarget = oSpawn;

   nInt = GetObjectType(oTarget);

   if (nInt != OBJECT_TYPE_WAYPOINT) DelayCommand(0.5, ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_DUST_EXPLOSION), oTarget));
   else DelayCommand(0.5, ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_DUST_EXPLOSION), GetLocation(oTarget)));

   DelayCommand(1.0, SendMessageToPC(oPC, "You found what appears to be a freshly dug hole leading down into a cave"));

   oTarget = GetObjectByTag("tr_HoleCementaryHalbrook");

   nInt = GetObjectType(oTarget);

   eEffect = EffectVisualEffect(VFX_IMP_DUST_EXPLOSION);

   if (nInt != OBJECT_TYPE_WAYPOINT)
      DelayCommand(30.0, ApplyEffectToObject(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, oTarget));
   else
      DelayCommand(30.0, ApplyEffectAtLocation(DURATION_TYPE_INSTANT, eEffect, GetLocation(oTarget)));

   DelayCommand(30.0, DestroyObject(oTarget, 3.0));

   }

   //If PC fails both skillrolls, he gets a message
else
   {
   SendMessageToPC(oPC, "You sense something is amiss here, but you are not quite able to spot what it is");

   }

}


Thank you
