Why won't this script work online?

The localscript works fine in solo, but online it says that 'activCamNo' does not exist. I'm confuzzled.

01local p= script.Parent.Parent.Parent    --game.Players.LocalPlayer
02local char= p.Character
03local cam= workspace.CurrentCamera
04 
05local camList= {
06workspace.Cam1.Viewpoint,
07workspace.Cam2.Viewpoint,
08workspace.Cam3.Viewpoint
09}
10 
11local activCam= 1
12local activCamNo= Instance.new("IntConstrainedValue")
13activCamNo.Name= "CamNo"
14activCamNo.Parent= script.Parent
15active= false
16 
17function checkCamNo()
18activCamNo.MaxValue= #camList
19activCamNo.MinValue= 0
20    if activCamNo.Value== 0 then
21        active= false
22        activCam= char.Humanoid
23    elseif activCamNo.Value~= 0 then
24        active= true
25        activCam= camList[activCamNo.Value]
26    end
27end
28checkCamNo()
29 
30game:GetService('RunService').Stepped:connect(function()
31checkCamNo()
32    if active== false then
33        cam.CameraType= "Custom"
34        char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed= 10
35    elseif active== true then
36        cam.CameraType = 'Scriptable'
37        cam.CoordinateFrame = CFrame.new(activCam.Position, CFrame.new(activCam.CFrame * Vector3.new(0,0,-1)).p)
38        char.Humanoid.WalkSpeed= 0
39    else
40    end
41end)

Try adding "repeat wait until activeCamNo ~= nil" before line 15 (without quotes.) Spongocardo 1991 — 9y
