Why this Camera Monitoring script works in Studio mode but not in Online mode?

Now this may be a little tricky to explain. I've been creating a camera controlling script to my trusted friends with admin powers that shows them a camera gui and they can monitor the place to check if everything is right.

So far, the script works in studio mode (solo), with the camera change and everything, but on online mode, only the effects and the gui show up. I've already tried to WaitForChild the LocalPlayer property of my localscript. Curiously, my annimation-cancelling script also fails.

Here is the most important part of my script:

01repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer
02 
03function wfc(child, parent) return parent:WaitForChild(child) end
04function ffc(child, parent) return parent:FindFirstChild(child) end

10local currentCamera = nil
11local lastCamera = ffc("Corridor1", cameraToggles)
12local db = false
13local monitorOn = false

15function changeCamera(node)
16    if monitorOn then
17        if ffc(node.Name, cameraStore) then
18            local cam = ffc(node.Name, cameraStore)

24            curCam.CoordinateFrame = cam.CoordinateFrame

All of the variables are accordingly declared and no errors pop up in the output or Log window.
