How to make a Node2D Move forward based on the Rotation outside of process(delta)

I'm making a sword! When I click, I want it to move forward based on its direction and then immediately after, it would move backwards, as if the player was using it to attack But Sadly, I need the script outside of _process(delta), as I want it to happen per click and not every tick Here is my current script:-

For actions that happen outside of process you could use an AnimationPlayer or a Timer. But in this case, you could use a Tween, I think that would be the easiest thing. AnimationPlayer would work, but it is rigid and not good if you need to alter the angle or position in code. Timer would work as well (you can set it to update at 60 fps) but it's not really meant for this type of stuff. So I think a Tween would be best.
