Attempt to index local 'player' (A Nil Value) [Help!]

[Hnaknaw]

So I have made a rounded box that has the player(s) avatar, name, and ping. Now im trying to make it print the player(s) rank. I am using ULX and ULIB, while coding this I have come across an error that I don't really understand.

if self.player:IsUserGroup("owner") then
		self.rank = self:Add("DLabel")
		self.rank:SetFont("ScoreboardTiny")
		self.rank:Dock(FILL)
		self.rank:DockMargin(5,5,5,5)
		self.rank:SizeToContents()
		self.rank:SetTextColor( Color(255, 255, 255, 255))
	end

I don't understand because I used this coding almost word for word to draw this:

Which draws a different color box when a user is a certain group... The colored box coding looks very similar:

function PANEL:Paint(w, h)
	//draw.RoundedBox( 4, 0, 0, w, h, Color(255, 255, 255, 225) ) --Individual Player Tags
	if self.player:IsUserGroup("owner") then
		draw.RoundedBox( 4, 0, 0, w, h, Color(0, 0, 0, 200) )	
	elseif self.player:IsUserGroup("superadmin") then
		draw.RoundedBox( 4, 0, 0, w, h, Color(240, 45, 45, 200) )
	elseif self.player:IsUserGroup("admin") then
		draw.RoundedBox( 4, 0, 0, w, h, Color(45, 123, 240, 200) )
	elseif self.player:IsUserGroup("moderator") then
		draw.RoundedBox( 4, 0, 0, w, h, Color(45, 240, 84, 200) )
	elseif self.player:IsUserGroup("vip")then
		draw.RoundedBox( 4, 0, 0, w, h, Color(240, 201, 45, 200) )
	elseif self.player:IsUserGroup("user") then
		draw.RoundedBox( 4, 0, 0, w, h, Color(255, 255, 255, 200) )
	end
end

If anyone could help me with this, that would be great!

If you need any further code from this file I will post it!

Don't remember if I included this but this is a scoreboard.

Give the entire error and the entire lua file the code is caused from

You don't need the entire code the rest is just scoreboard properties. I just need to know why its saying 'player' responding nil value

Is it me or is that code littered with stuff that looks like it shouldnt be there?

Ex:

self.title:SetFont(="keyword operator">="string">"ScoreboardMedium")
