[JASS] Timers and structs, how would you do this?

[Majin]

So, i've got this spell where a unit creates another unit and this unit has to do ciclic actions when a timer expires. I'm new to vJass but i've tried with a lot of ways to make it work...
I'm posting the code, the first is the spell casted by the unit (removed useless code to make reading easier), the second is the struct attached to the created unit with the code that has to be executed when the timer expires, also the code to make the timer is missing because i was trying different things but i have a global array and a function that gives me the first available timer.
I already know what's the problem: the method that has to be executed cannot be set as static as it is now, so i cannot use it neither as trigger or as function to be executed when a trigger expires.
I would like to know if there's a way to make it work without implementing some kind of system or something like that

Edit:

How i would do my "spell" trigger's (my frame)

Jass

scope Spell initializer Init

globals
    private constant integer Abil_id = 'What ever'
endglobals

private struct Data

timer Time

    static method create takes nothing returns Data
        local Data dat = Data.allocate()        
        call TimerStart(Time,.035,true,function Data.Loop)
        return dat
    endmethod

    static method Loop takes nothing returns nothing
        local Data dat = GetTimerData(GetExpiredTimer())
    endmethod
endstruct

private function takes nothing returns boolean
    local Data dat

    if GetSpellAbilityId()==Abil_id then
        set dat = Data.create()
    endif

    return false
endfunction

private function Init takes nothing returns nothing
    local trigger Trig = CreateTrigger()
    local integer Index = 0

    loop
        call TriggerRegisterAnyPlayerUnitEvent(Trig,Player(0),EVENT_PLAYER_UNIT_SPELL_EFFECT,null)
        set Index = Index + 1
        exitwhen index == bj_MAX_PLAYER_SLOTS
    endloop

    call TriggerAddCondition(Trig,Filter(function OnCast))

    set Trig = null
endfunction

endscope

This isnt very much help, but you can add my msn and we can talk more there if u like too
