Like walk normally, or as from the picture to the right,

But if you move right with the head of the sword, the sword will rotate with the body, so you will keep going in circles, except if you want when u press w it makes it so u walk where the sword is pointed

I’m not smart enough to think one part out so, for now i think you should make an invisible part at the end of your tool

-- Local script

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")

controls = require(player.PlayerScripts:WaitForChild("PlayerModule")):GetControls()

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character = player.Character

local endPart = script.Parent.EndPart -- the tip of your sword aka where you wanna move to
local tool = script.Parent

local equipped = false

tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
    controls:Disable()
    equipped = true
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
    controls:Enable()
    equipped = false
end)

UserInputService.InputBegan:Connect(function(input, gameProcessedEvent)
    if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.W then
        if equipped == true then
            character:Move(endPart.Position, false)
        end   
    end
end)

I haven’t tested this out, but if there are bugs just tell me

Oh i have an idea, put the script in the tool and the end part in the tool aswell so it’s easier to the coding

like
local tool = script.Parent
local endPart = script.Parent.endPart
