The key is pointOnPath() which lets you track a shape layer’s path. Here’s an example that uses a slider (0-100) to control percentage travel along a path:

s = effect("Slider Control")("Slider").value/100;

L = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 1");

p = L.content("Shape 1").content("Path 1").path;

L.toComp(p.pointOnPath(s,time))

I thought this was introduced in 15.0, but I can find any reference to making a layer follow shape layers shape using expressions? Did I dream this?
