Expression to move / pause / repeat

[EuanGallacher]

I thought I would be able to find an example expression but I'm having trouble finding a way to have a null object move a set amount; let's say 10 pixels, then pause for 5 frames, then move 10 pixels, then pause and repeat. Kind of like how a typewriter would move in slow motion. Hope you can help.

I found a good example incase anyone wants to do the same thing:

// set freqency and distance
countFrames = time/thisComp.frameDuration;

freq = countFrames / 5;
jump = Math.round(freq);
newX = jump * -20;

// Create Array
value + [newX,0,0]

If you need it in that static rhytm, you can also just keyframe the jump/wait phase and use

loopOut("offset");

expression.

Cool thanks, didn't know about that one. Looks handy.
