This script from a wiki article I'm copying does not make me double jump?

Hello, I was trying to make my own copy of this wiki article by typing it up myself instead of copy/paste, however, it doesn't work! It doesn't show an error in the output, but the player cannot use the double jump ability.

Here is my code:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character
local humanoid
 
local canDoubleJump = false
local hasDoubleJumped = false
local oldPower
local TIME_BETWEEN_JUMPS = 0.2
local DOUBLE_JUMP_POWER_MULTIPLIER = 2
 
function onJumpRequest()
	if not character or not humanoid or not character:IsDescendantOf(workspace) or
		 humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead then
		return
	end
	
	if canDoubleJump and not hasDoubleJumped then
		hasDoubleJumped = true
		humanoid.JumpPower = oldPower * DOUBLE_JUMP_POWER_MULTIPLIER
		humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
	end
end
 
local function characterAdded(newCharacter)
	character = newCharacter
	humanoid = newCharacter:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	hasDoubleJumped = false
	canDoubleJump = false
	oldPower = humanoid.JumpPower

	humanoid.StateChanged:connect(function(old, new)
	if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
		canDoubleJump = false
		hasDoubleJumped = false
		humanoid.JumpPower = oldPower
	elseif new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
		wait(TIME_BETWEEN_JUMPS)
		canDoubleJump = true
	end
	end)
end
 
if localPlayer.Character then
	characterAdded(localPlayer.Character)
end

localPlayer.CharacterAdded:connect(characterAdded)
UserInputService.JumpRequest:connect(onJumpRequest)

And for comparison, the Wiki article code:

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local localPlayer = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local character
local humanoid
 
local canDoubleJump = false
local hasDoubleJumped = false
local oldPower
local TIME_BETWEEN_JUMPS = 0.2
local DOUBLE_JUMP_POWER_MULTIPLIER = 2
 
function onJumpRequest()
	if not character or not humanoid or not character:IsDescendantOf(workspace) or
	 humanoid:GetState() == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Dead then
		return
	end
 
	if canDoubleJump and not hasDoubleJumped then
		hasDoubleJumped = true
		humanoid.JumpPower = oldPower * DOUBLE_JUMP_POWER_MULTIPLIER
		humanoid:ChangeState(Enum.HumanoidStateType.Jumping)
	end
end
 
local function characterAdded(newCharacter)
	character = newCharacter
	humanoid = newCharacter:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
	hasDoubleJumped = false
	canDoubleJump = false
	oldPower = humanoid.JumpPower
 
	humanoid.StateChanged:connect(function(old, new)
		if new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Landed then
			canDoubleJump = false
			hasDoubleJumped = false
			humanoid.JumpPower = oldPower
		elseif new == Enum.HumanoidStateType.Freefall then
			wait(TIME_BETWEEN_JUMPS)
			canDoubleJump = true
		end
	end)
end
 
if localPlayer.Character then
	characterAdded(localPlayer.Character)
end
 
localPlayer.CharacterAdded:connect(characterAdded)
UserInputService.JumpRequest:connect(onJumpRequest)
