Suppose you have a Storyline variable distance... and a variable duration...
This code then gets those vars and acts appropriately...

let player = GetPlayer();
let myDistance = player.GetVar("distance");
let myDuration = player.GetVar("duration");
let myShape = document.querySelector("[data-acc-text='someShape']");

gsap.to(myShape, { duration:myDuration, x:"+="+myDistance});
