You will have to refer to the 2 items in that var, when doing point 
math...


  put the loc of this stack into var
## i am not sure if "...of stack me" is valid syntax!!!

add 20 to item 1 of var ## x location
add 30 to item 2 of var  ## y location
set the loc of this stack to var


You get the picture...
