You need to call task.spawn like this.

task.spawn(waterEffect,true,false)

pro tip: you can use pcalls like that as well.

pcall(workspace:FindFirstChildOfClass("Part").SetNetworkOwner, FindFirstChildOfClass("Part")) -- sets the network owner of a part to nil in a pcall.

Sorry what’s the pcall for in this post?

Just a tip if you use pcalls to structure them like that since it looks cleaner than doing it like this.

 local part = workspace:FindFirstChildOfClass("Part")
pcall(function()  
    Part:SetNetworkOwner()
end)  -- looks ugly

pcall(Part.SetNetworkOwner, Part) -- looks neat
