Script working in roblox studio does nothing in-game

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#1

I made custom controls for a StarterPlayer model that is a sphere, it works just fine in studio but in roblox it does not.

if not game:IsLoaded() then
	game.Loaded:Wait()
end

local UserInputService = game:GetService("UserInputService")
local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local PLAYER = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local CHARACTER = PLAYER.Character

local jumps = 2
local jumpDebounce = true
local RAYCAST_PARAMS = RaycastParams.new()
RAYCAST_PARAMS.FilterType = Enum.RaycastFilterType.Exclude
RAYCAST_PARAMS.FilterDescendantsInstances = {CHARACTER}

function updateAngularVelocity()
	local accel = script:GetAttribute("Acceleration")
	local maxSpeed = script:GetAttribute("MaxAngularSpeed")
	local part = CHARACTER.PrimaryPart

	local direction = Vector3.new(CHARACTER.Humanoid.MoveDirection.z , 0 , -CHARACTER.Humanoid.MoveDirection.x)
	local maxvelocity = direction * maxSpeed
	local excess = maxvelocity  - part.AssemblyAngularVelocity

	if maxvelocity.Magnitude > part.AssemblyAngularVelocity.Magnitude then
		part.AssemblyAngularVelocity += excess.Unit * accel
	else
		part.AssemblyAngularVelocity = maxvelocity
	end
end

function jump(actionName, inputState, _inputObject)
	if jumpDebounce then
		jumpDebounce = false
		if jumps > 0 and inputState == Enum.UserInputState.Begin then
			jumps -= 1
			local velocity = CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity
			CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = velocity * Vector3.new(1,0,1) + (Vector3.yAxis *  script:GetAttribute("JumpSpeed"))	
			CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.ParticleEmitter:Emit(script:GetAttribute("Particles"))
			script.JumpSound:Play()
			if jumps == 0 then
				print("DOUBLE")
				--Propel character in movedirection
				CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = (CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity * Vector3.new(0,1,0))  + CHARACTER.Humanoid.MoveDirection * script:GetAttribute("DoubleJumpSpeed")
			end
			task.wait(0.1)
		end
		jumpDebounce = true
	end
end

function landCharacter(position)
	jumps = 2

	--Snap character to floor
	CHARACTER:PivotTo(CFrame.new(position + Vector3.new(0,CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.Size.Y / 2,0)) * CHARACTER:GetPivot() - CHARACTER:GetPivot().Position )
	--Set velocity accordingly
	CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity = CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyLinearVelocity * Vector3.new(1,0,1)
end

function checkFall()
	local raycast = workspace:Raycast(CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.Position , -Vector3.yAxis * 3 , RAYCAST_PARAMS)

	if raycast then	
		if (raycast.Position - CHARACTER:GetPivot().Position).Magnitude < 2 then 
			if math.abs(CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyAngularVelocity.Y) > script:GetAttribute("BreakThreshold") then
				fallDeath()
			end
			landCharacter(raycast.Position)
		end
	end
end

function fallDeath()
	warn("You fell from a deadly height")
end

repeat
	wait(0.1)
	CHARACTER = PLAYER.Character
until CHARACTER


ContextActionService:BindAction("Jump" , jump , true , Enum.KeyCode.Space)

while task.wait() do
	workspace.CurrentCamera.CameraSubject = CHARACTER.PrimaryPart
	updateAngularVelocity()

	if jumps ~= 2 and CHARACTER.PrimaryPart.AssemblyAngularVelocity.Y < 0 then
		checkFall()
	end
end
print("started")

Everything prints out correctly and the particles work too, but the part does not move at all.
Is this a bug?

Does the client get network ownership of the assembly? If not, you need a line like this in your spawning script:

character.PrimaryPart:SetNetworkOwner(player)

Turns out this happened because the default humanoid took priority over a humanoid placed in StarterCharacter, but not in studio. (Until it did for some reason, then I realized.)
