✓ ANSWER ACCEPTED
I can't run the game in Studio because then Studio crashes. I think the script is crashing?

while loops must contain some sort of delay, otherwise they will crash the server. Usually this delay is the wait() function.
Your loop contains several of these functions, but notice that they're all inside of your first if statement! This means that if your if statement is false, your script will never wait, and thus crash.
Just add a small delay every time it loops, no matter the outcome of the if statement.
while true do
wait() --gotta have that
