    Dim effDiamond As Effect
    Dim shpRectangle As Shape

    'Adds shape and sets animation
    Set shpRectangle = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes _
        .AddShape(Type:=msoShapeRectangle, Left:=100, Top:=100, _
        Width:=50, Height:=50)
    Set effDiamond = ActivePresentation.Slides(1).TimeLine.MainSequence _
        .AddEffect(Shape:=shpRectangle, effectId:=msoAnimEffectPathDiamond)

    With effDiamond.Timing
        .Duration = 3
        .RepeatDuration = 5
        .RepeatCount = 3
        .Restart = msoAnimEffectRestartAlways
    End With

End Sub
