Tweening model in relative space?
I've been tweeting models in roblox for a while now and it's always done in global space. Now trying to tween my player 5 studs forward from their current location as part of an attack move. I have no idea how to make the tween change from global to local. Is it possible to tween relative to the model?

Yeppers, of course there is. Get the player's current position like this:
local CFrame = Player.Character.PrimaryPart.CFrame;
We use CFrame in order to maintain rotation. Just think of CFrame as a Vector3 with rotation properties.
We then add the CFrame's lookvector (multiplied by a constant, which is the distance) with the CFrame's current position. The LookVector is a Vector3 value (hence Vector), which means it can be added to a CFrame value, like this:
local Formula = (CFrame.LookVector * Constant) + CFrame;
Now, you can utilize TweenService to make the tween. We don't have to worry about using :ToEulerAnglesXYZ() here because we're maintaining the rotation values by adding a Vector3 to a CFrame.
TweenService:Create(Player.Character.PrimaryPart, TweenInfo.new(0.25), {CFrame = Formula});
