You should create a global TTimeMarker and place it in your main loop like so:

var //Global
  timer: TTimeMarker;

procedure mainLoop;
begin
  if (timer.getTime > random(600000, 900000)) then  //10-15 minutes converted to milliseconds
  begin
    players[currentPlayer].exitToLobby;
    wait(whateverTimeToWait);
    players[currentPlayer].login;
    timer.reset;  
    timer.start;    //reset and restart timer after break has occurred
  end;
  doStuff;
  doMoreStuff;
  doMoreMoreStuff;
end;

begin
  timer.start;    //start the timer at the beginning of your script
end.

If your procedures within your main loop take awhile (so that 10-15 min might elapse before the main loop has happened once), then create a separate procedure like "takeBreak;" and insert the "if timer.getTime > 10-15 min" part at the beginning of every procedure. That would look like:

procedure takeBreak;
begin
  players[currentPlayer].exitToLobby;
  wait(whateverTimeToWait);
  players[currentPlayer].login;
  timer.reset;
  timer.start;
end;

procedure doStuff;
begin
  if (timer.getTime > random(600000, 900000)) then
    takeBreak;
{...}
end;

procedure doMoreStuff;
begin
  if (timer.getTime > random(600000, 900000)) then
    takeBreak;
{...}
end;

procedure doMoreMoreStuff;
begin
  if (timer.getTime > random(600000, 900000)) then
    takeBreak;
{...}
end;

procedure mainLoop;
begin
  doStuff;
  doMoreStuff;
  doMoreMoreStuff;
end;

begin
  timer.start;
end.

Best of luck with your script! Feel free to ask any more questions. :)
