So, I am almost done doing a lightsaber, But when it activates The size of it goes in both directions like this:

If someone knows a way to only make it go in 1 direction, Please say it in the replies.
Second thing is, How do i fix the orientation of the tool? Since it’s sideways I have tried changing it through putting the tool in workspace and fixing the orientation but that didn’t work, So if someone knows how to fix it I would highly appreciate it!

Tween both size and position because when tweening a part’s size, it’ll grow on both sides. Under the tools properties you can edit how your tool will appear in the players hand, this is just annoying though because if you have to just keep trying different numbers until the tool looks right.

About the tweening both size and position I have been constantly trying to do it, but unable to
Here is the script:

local Tool = script.Parent.Parent
local Saber = Tool.Saber
local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local Player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local Handle = Tool.Handle
local Tween = game:GetService("TweenService")
local Info = TweenInfo.new(
	0.5,
	Enum.EasingStyle.Linear,
	Enum.EasingDirection.Out,
	0,
	false
)
local ActivatedTable = {
	Size = Vector3.new(Saber.Position.X + 5, 0, 0),
	Position = Vector3.new(0, Saber.Position.Y + 4, 0)
}
local DeActivatedTable = {
	Size = Vector3.new(0.3, 0.3, 1.5)
}
local ActivatedTween = Tween:Create(Saber, Info, ActivatedTable)
local DeActivatedTween = Tween:Create(Saber, Info, DeActivatedTable)

Tool.Equipped:Connect(function()
	Player.PlayerGui.SaberControls.Enabled = true
	UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
		if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.Q then
			print("Opening")
			ActivatedTween:Play()
		end
		UIS.InputBegan:Connect(function(input)
			if input.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.E then
				print("Closing")
				DeActivatedTween:Play()
			end
		end)
	end)
end)

Tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()
	Player.PlayerGui.SaberControls.Enabled = false
end)

If you could possibly try telling me how to, I would highly appreciate it! Thanks for the help!
