Why is my text not displaying whenever I go into "Play" mode in Studio???

So, I made and scripted a reloading mechanic for my cannon. They work completely fine if I click "Run" but if I were to click "Play" the GUI would not work at all. For example, If I press "R" on Run mode, a text will appear saying "reloading" for 2 seconds. But when I press "R" in Play mode, the text will not appear at all. Here is the script that toggles the reloading stuff.

01local ammoLeft = 20
02local reloaded = false -- The amount of cannon balls reloaded (Should only be either true or false)
03local reloading = false
04CannonGUIS = game.StarterGui.GameGUIs.CannonStuff -- All GUI's related to the cannon.
05 
06function onKeyPress(inputObject, gameProcessedEvent)
07    if inputObject.KeyCode == Enum.KeyCode.F then
08        if reloaded then
09            Fire()
10            script.Parent.Parent.Barrel.ExplodeSound2:Play()
11        else
12            Reload()
13        end
14    end
15end
16 
17function Reload()
18    if not reloading and ammoLeft > 0 then
19        CannonGUIS.Ammo.ReloadingText.Visible = true
20        reloading = true
21        print("Reloading.")
22        wait(2)
23        CannonGUIS.Ammo.Amount.Value = CannonGUIS.Ammo.Amount.Value - 1
24        --CannonGUIS.Ammo.AmountText.Text = CannonGUIS.Ammo.Amount.Value
25        ammoLeft = ammoLeft - 1
26        reloaded = true
27        CannonGUIS.Ammo.ReloadingText.Visible = false
28        print("Reloaded.")
29        reloading = false
30    elseif reloading then
31        return
32    elseif ammoLeft == 0 then
33        CannonGUIS.Ammo.NoMoreCannonBalls.Visible = true
34    end
35end
36 
37game:GetService("UserInputService").InputBegan:connect(onKeyPress)

Oh and this script is inside a Model in Workspace.

Anyone know what's wrong? Thanks!
