Why won't this script work? I have tried multiple methods to fix it. [ANSWERED]

Hello, I am trying to achieve a Carry System but whenever a player comes

Here is the full code:

local UI = script.Parent
local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local debugmode = 0
local firstply = "nil"
if debugmode == 0 then

RS.Stepped:Connect(function()
	local ply = game.Players:GetPlayers()
	for i,v in pairs(ply) do
	   if game.Players.LocalPlayer:DistanceFromCharacter(v.Character.UpperTorso.Position) <= 10 and v.Name ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name and firstply ~= v.Name then
			firstply = v.Name
			print(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name.." is close to "..firstply..".")
			script.Parent.Visible = true
			script.Parent.PlayerCarried.Text = ("Carry, "..firstply.."?")
		else if game.Players.LocalPlayer:DistanceFromCharacter(v.Character.UpperTorso.Position) >= 10 and v.Name ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name and firstply == v.Name then
			firstply = "nil"
			print(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name.." is not close to "..firstply..".")
			script.Parent.Visible = false
			end
		end
	end
end)

elseif debugmode == 0 then

RS.Stepped:Connect(function()
		if game.Players.LocalPlayer:DistanceFromCharacter(game.Workspace.PlayerCarry.UpperTorso.Position) <= 10 then
			script.Parent.Visible = true
		else
			script.Parent.Visible = false
		end
    end)
end

UI.Carry.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.CarryEvent:FireServer(firstply, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
	print(firstply)
end)
   
UI.Cancel.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
	game.ReplicatedStorage.DropEvent:FireServer(firstply, game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
	print(firstply)
end)

The code that is erroring is:

game.Players.LocalPlayer:DistanceFromCharacter(v.Character.UpperTorso.Position) <= 10 and v.Name ~= game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name and firstply ~= v.Name then

This is the errors I receive: https://i.imgur.com/peJUGUU.png https://i.imgur.com/vefPWWJ.png

This is the output it gives: https://i.imgur.com/beCK31M.png https://i.imgur.com/tuSAn8f.png
