Tweenservice direction changes upon parent's object rotation change

So uh, I suck at scripting and I don’t progress a lot cuz I tend to leave it time to time so I’m always stuck in the same knowledge level, but I’ve been trying to learn these days with phind AI but the AI is not very effective and makes scripts that just throw errors many times.

The problem is self-explanatory, basically a button that needs to be pushed forward changes direction when the parent object is rotated which is the button and the button is in a model which is basically a soda dispenser, so if I rotate the model obviously everything including the button is gonna rotate and the script works but it’s still following the same direction, and doesn’t change depending in parent object’s orientation, AND I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS, so does anyone have a better solution than tweenservice or something? and yes I know the soda is in serverstorage instead of being inside the soda dispenser itself which is simpler for public uploads, but I chose that way.

script:

local ServerStorage = game:GetService(“ServerStorage”)
local TweenService = game:GetService(“TweenService”)

– Reference to the invisible part
local invisiblePart = script.Parent.Parent.spawn

– Reference to the soda in ServerStorage
local soda = ServerStorage:WaitForChild(“BloxyCola”)

– Debounce timer
local debounceTime = 0.5 – Adjust this value as needed
local lastClickTime = 0

– Function to spawn the soda
local function spawnSoda()
local newSoda = soda:Clone()
newSoda.Handle.Position = invisiblePart.Position
newSoda.Parent = workspace

-- Play sound effect
local buttonSound = script.Parent.Sound
if buttonSound then
	buttonSound:Play()
end

end

– Function to toggle button state
local function toggleButtonState()
local button = script.Parent

-- Check if the button has a Size property
if typeof(button.Size) == "Vector3" then
	local originalPosition = button.Position

	-- Animate button push forward
	local tweenInfo = TweenInfo.new(
		0.3, -- Duration
		Enum.EasingStyle.Sine,
		Enum.EasingDirection.Out
	)
	local tween = TweenService:Create(button, tweenInfo, {Position = Vector3.new(originalPosition.X + 0.1, originalPosition.Y, originalPosition.Z )})

	tween:Play()

	-- Wait for the animation to finish
	tween.Completed:Connect(function()
		-- Animate button back to original position
		local revertTween = TweenService:Create(button, tweenInfo, {Position = originalPosition})
		revertTween:Play()

		spawnSoda() -- Spawn soda after animations complete

		-- Change color of Signal part and PointLight
		local signalPart = script.Parent.Parent.Signal
		local pointLight = signalPart.PointLight

		if signalPart then
			local originalColor = signalPart.Color

			-- Animate color change
			local colorTween = TweenService:Create(signalPart, tweenInfo, {Color = Color3.new(0, 1, 0)})
			colorTween:Play()

			-- Wait for the animation to finish
			colorTween.Completed:Connect(function()
				-- Animate color back to original
				local revertColorTween = TweenService:Create(signalPart, tweenInfo, {Color = originalColor})
				revertColorTween:Play()
			end)	
		end

		if pointLight then
			local originalColor = pointLight.Color
			local originalBrightness = pointLight.Brightness

			-- Animate color change
			local colorTween = TweenService:Create(pointLight, tweenInfo, {Color = Color3.new(1, 1, 0)})
			colorTween:Play()

			-- Wait for the animation to finish
			colorTween.Completed:Connect(function()
				-- Animate color back to original
				local revertColorTween = TweenService:Create(pointLight, tweenInfo, {Color = originalColor})
				revertColorTween:Play()

				-- Animate brightness change
				local intTween = TweenService:Create(pointLight, tweenInfo, {Brightness = 2}) -- Increase brightness temporarily
				intTween:Play()

				-- Wait for the animation to finish
				intTween.Completed:Connect(function()
					-- Animate brightness back to original
					local revertIntTween = TweenService:Create(pointLight, tweenInfo, {Brightness = originalBrightness})
					revertIntTween:Play()
				end)
			end)
		end
	end)
end

end

– Find the ClickDetector on the button
local clickDetector = script.Parent:FindFirstChild(“ClickDetector”)
clickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
local currentTime = tick()
if currentTime - lastClickTime > debounceTime then
lastClickTime = currentTime
toggleButtonState()
end
end)
