You can use on update to do it I believe. I'm going off the top of my head here but:

MyMod = 
	{
		Timer = 0,			--Timer to keep count
		Frequency = 300		--300 seconds, 5 minutes

	}


function MyMod.OnUpdate(elapsed)
	MyMod.Timer = MyMod.Timer + elapsed
	if (MyMod.Timer > Frequency) then
		Jump();
		MyMod.Timer = 0
	end
end

XML File should have something like:

<OnUpdate>
	MyMod.OnUpdate();
</OnUpdate>

Just make sure the frame is visible or it will not receive the call to OnUpdate().

Jump() requires a keypress or click event in order to trigger, so an OnUpdate wouldn't cover it.. you'd need to be a little trickier.

imo.

Hey,

As I understand, all functions that control movement will be remove in 1.10
