Help scanning for 5 minute candle volume higher than opening 5 minute candle volume

Hi,
Looking for a little help on probably a simple matter for the masters out there. I'm trying to do what the title says, which is do a couple scans in the opening 30 minutes or so for stocks that have a higher volume on a 5 minute candle than the volume of the 9:30-9:35 candle. Here is an Example Chart.

So far, I have been using the scan below and I adjust the offset we move onto the next 5 minute candle. So at 9:39, I run the scan with an offset of 1 and at 9:44 I run the scan with an offset of 2.

Can someone point me in the right direction to just create a scan where I'm looking for any of the past few 5 minute candles that have greater volume than the opening?
Thanks for any help!

Just bumping this up since it's evening now and everyone might not be watching the markets!
Thanks for any help!

No need bumping and it's frowned upon in most forums... When those who can help stop by they will chime in and most of us frequent supporting members read virtually every post so yours won't slip through the cracks... I've already read your posts several times today... Time constraints aren't my forte' so hold out and someone will help...
 
@beachbum Didn't include agg in the script since that's a setting you can change during the scan.
Code:
def vol5 = if secondsFromTime(0930) == 0 then volume else vol5[1];

plot scan = volume > vol5;
