Blocking System Works, but Effects Aren't Emitting?

I've attached 2 scripts, of whom are also attached to a sword Tool. The sword Tool is under the StarterPack.

Now, the blocking system works just fine, but for some reason the BlockingEffects, under "BlockVFX" aren't showing. As you can see I tried multiple print statements, and they're all printing out the effects, meaning the code does have the effect(it's not nil).

So, if the server has the effects, why isn't it able to emit those effects?

Essentially, what's going on is that if I hold the F button, and someone attacks me, I get damaged a little bit as expected, but unexpectedly I don't see the blocking effects.

When you call effect:Emit(200) on the server, it doesn't guarantee that clients will see the particles

I had emit(2) before, and it still didn't show :(

thought increasing the # of particles would force it to show the effects

btw when I created a rig, gave it a NumberValue child, set the name to "blocking"(this value is used in the scripts), and manualy set "blocking" to true. The block effects showed when I hit the rig. Not sure why it's not showing, when I hold F to block, and someone hits me.
