Script works in studio but not in the real game? It's probably simple, but beyond me.

So I am messing with a hunger/thirst system thing. For example if you click with the water bottle it's supposed to become empty. There's this script which it connects with, that gives the player the values of the things like "Hunger" "Thirst" "Total Hunger" and so on. For some reason the water bottle script doesnt seem to be connecting with the other script. Here is the bottle script.

01bottle = script.Parent;
02 
03 
04function DrinkWater(player)
05    player.Thirst.Value = player.Thirst.Value + s.thirstQuenching;
06    if player.Thirst.Value > player.TotalThirst.Value then
07        player.Thirst.Value = player.TotalThirst.Value;
08    end;
09    bottle.Name = "Bottle"; -- Empty the bottle.
10end;
11 
12bottle.Equipped:connect(function(m)
13    local char = bottle.Parent;
14    local player = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(char);
15    m.Button1Down:connect(function()
16        local target = m.Target;
17        if bottle.Name == "Bottle of Water" then
18            DrinkWater(player);
19        else
20            if target then
21                if target.Name:lower() == "well water" then
22                    bottle.Name = "Bottle of Water";
23                end;
24            end;
25        end;
26    end);
27end);

Here is the other script

01-- Put this script in Workspace or ServerScriptService. Workspace isn't recommended, but it also works.
02 
03s = require(workspace.Settings);
04 
05-- Putting all of these settings into values inside a character allows each character to individually improve them to their benefit.
06-- Basically, it allows for upgrades.
07game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(p)
08    local th = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
09    th.Name = "TotalHunger";
10    th.Value = s.totalHunger;
11    local hb = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
12    hb.Name = "HungerBurnup";
13    hb.Value = s.hungerBurnup;
14    local hunger = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
15    hunger.Name = "Hunger";
16    hunger.Value = s.totalHunger;
17    local tt = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
18    tt.Name = "TotalThirst";
19    tt.Value = s.totalThirst;
20    local dr = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
21    dr.Name = "DehydrationRate";
22    dr.Value = s.dehydrationRate;
23    local thirst = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
24    thirst.Name = "Thirst";
25    thirst.Value = s.totalThirst;
26    local killRateLow = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
27    killRateLow.Name = "KillRateLow";
28    killRateLow.Value = s.killRate.low;
29    local killRateHigh = Instance.new("IntValue", p);
30    killRateHigh.Name = "KillRateHigh";
31    killRateHigh.Value = s.killRate.high;
32    p.PlayerGui:WaitForChild("Main");
33    p.PlayerGui.Main.Updater.Disabled = false;
34end);

I tried copying and pasting the values script into a localscript in StartPlayerScripts. It didn't work. I'm sure the reason is simple, but I can't seem to figure it out. Any help is appreciated.
