I want an object to fire a random spell at the player anytime they are within range and are not already affected by one of its spells. I completely broke the game with my latest iteration, lagged it into oblivion because it was firing spells constantly. Looking for some help...

begin MT15_mg_scr_ball


float timer2
short istriggered
short spell


if ( timer2 > 10 )
	set timer2 to 0
	if ( GetDistance "player" < 1000 )
		if ( Player->GetSpellEffects "MT15_mg_spell_ball_1" )
			return
		elseif ( Player->GetSpellEffects "MT15_mg_spell_ball_2" )
			return
		elseif ( Player->GetSpellEffects "MT15_mg_spell_ball_3" )
			return
		elseif ( Player->GetSpellEffects "MT15_mg_spell_ball_4" )
			return
		elseif ( Player->GetSpellEffects "MT15_mg_spell_ball_5" )
			return
		elseif ( Player->GetSpellEffects "MT15_mg_spell_ball_6" )
			return
		else
			set istriggered to 1
		endif
	endif
endif

if  ( istriggered > 0 )
	set spell to random100
	if ( spell < 15 )
		set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
		cast "MT15_mg_spell_ball_1" player
		set istriggered to istriggered - 1
		endif
	elseif ( spell < 30 )
		set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
		cast "MT15_mg_spell_ball_2" player
		set istriggered to istriggered - 1
		endif
	elseif ( spell < 45 )
		set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
		cast "MT15_mg_spell_ball_3" player
		set istriggered to istriggered - 1
		endif
	elseif ( spell < 60 )
		set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
		cast "MT15_mg_spell_ball_4" player
		set istriggered to istriggered - 1
		endif
	elseif ( spell < 75 )
		set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
		cast "MT15_mg_spell_ball_5" player
		set istriggered to istriggered - 1
		endif
	elseif ( spell < 90 )
		set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
		cast "MT15_mg_spell_ball_6" player
		set istriggered to istriggered - 1
		endif
	elseif ( spell < 100 )
		set timer2 to ( timer2 + GetSecondsPassed )
		cast "MT15_mg_spell_ball_7" player
		set istriggered to istriggered - 1
		endif
	endif
endif


end MT15_mg_scr_ball

Odds are I really screwed things up when I tried to use the timer.

Thanks for taking a look.
