Timer Error: \gamemode\sqlcar.lua:99: Tried to use a NULL entity!

Lua Error: Timer Error: \gamemode\sqlcar.lua:99: Tried to use a NULL entity!

The error above breaks my SQL script, what can I do against this? Line 99, is "SteamID = ply:SteamID()"

function PlayerInitialSpawn( ply )

	timer.Create("Steam_id_delay", 1, 1, function()
	SteamID = ply:SteamID()
	ply:SetNWString("SteamID", SteamID)
	timer.Create("SaveStat", 10, 0, function() saveStat( ply ) end)
	player_exists( ply )
	end)
end
hook.Add( "PlayerInitialSpawn", "PlayerInitialSpawn", PlayerInitialSpawn )

or use

local SteamID = ply:SteamID()

Don't use a NWVar when you can just go (your player object):SteamID()

Forget all of what you just put.

Use this instead....
