Command block help requested... again...

Hey (again)! This time I was working on making explosive tags (A.K.A paper bombs, Naruto ninja tool) in Minecraft. I'm using an invisible armor stand being summoned in a certain position relative to the player holding the re-textured item in a certain way so it appears to be a paper bomb on the ground. Everything is working beautifully except for one thing. I want to have a smoke particle effect at the paper bomb but because of the way I am summoning the armor stand by looking down or up while using the paper bomb you can misplace the particles... Is there any way to use the "^ ^ ^" coordinates without effecting the y axis?

- I could think of a way with 2 different armor stands. First summon one at the coordinators ~ ~ ~ . Have that armorstand constantly execute to you and tp it to ~ ~ ~ 0 ~. Finally, have your final armorstand execute the first one and teleport to ^ ^ ^(number). Theoretically, it should teleport it a few blocks in front of you without changing the x value

The problem has already been resolved but thanks for the effort anyway! :D

Can you show us exactly what you're doing? Because sure, you can use the new ^ coordinates without changing anything, you do that in the same way you use the ~ positioning.
If I had to guess at what could be causing your issues is: /execute at vs. /execute positioned as. Both commands somewhat do the same with the major difference that 'positioned as' doesn't compensate for rotation while the first does; so if you use ^ then the actual position will always depend on rotation of the player. So if the player is looking at the ground then ^ ^ ^3 wouldn't merely mean "3 blocks in front of the player"; it would also compensate for rotation and therefor lower the y axis as well to compensate.
You can resolve that by using positioned as.

I'm using a function (Code for the part I'm working on above in the spoiler). I want to add a particle effect to the paper bomb. Essentially I need a way to run a command relative to where the armor stand is rotated without effecting the y axis. Kind of like if "^ ~ ^" worked, but you can't mix "^" and "~".

/execute rotated as @s rotated ~ 0 run setblock ^ ^ ^5 stone~SUPERIONtheKnight

THANK YOU SO MUCH! It works!!!
