The current thread cannot use 'ToggleLight' (lacking capability Unassigned)

Hello! I have two copies of a very simple script with only a few variables changed. One works as expected, but for some reason the other one outputs “The current thread cannot use ‘ToggleLight’ (lacking capability Unassigned)”.

	ToggleLight:FireClient(player, light, lamp.Click)
end)
