DarkRP Weird Errors/Problems

[deal with it]

Hello, I am creating a HUD for DarkRP and after putting the ammo counters, I realized that every time you start up the server, it says that on line 121, GetActiveWeapon is a nil value. However, when I save it, the errors go away. Here is the bit of code that is causing the issue.

        if client:GetActiveWeapon():Clip1() >= 0 then
		draw.RoundedBox(3, ScrW() - 165, ScrH() - 115,150,100,Color(40,40,40, 230))
		draw.RoundedBox(3, ScrW() - 163, ScrH() - 113,150 - 4,100 - 4,Color(100, 100, 150, 115))
        draw.SimpleText(client:GetActiveWeapon():Clip1(),"Font2",ScrW() - 130, ScrH() - 65,Color(255,255,255), 1, 1)
        draw.SimpleText(client:GetAmmoCount(client:GetActiveWeapon():GetPrimaryAmmoType()), "Font2",ScrW() - 50, ScrH() - 65,Color(255,255,255), 1, 1)
        draw.SimpleText(client:GetActiveWeapon():GetPrintName(), "Font",ScrW() - 90, ScrH() - 128,Color(255,255,255), 1, 1) --This is the line that is causing the errors, line 121
        draw.RoundedBox(0, ScrW() - 90, ScrH() - 105,1,80,Color(245,245,245,57))

I am also having problems with the DModelPanel and InitPostEntity, and these problems are kind of similar. You see, just like my other problem, on server startup there is no DModelPanel until I save the lua file. Here is the bit of code I am having issues with.

function GM:InitPostEntity()

	iconmodel = vgui.Create("DModelPanel")
	iconmodel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel())
        function iconmodel:LayoutEntity( Entity ) return end
	iconmodel:SetPos(20, ScrH() - 160)
	iconmodel:SetAnimated(false)
	iconmodel:SetSize(70,70)
	iconmodel:SetCamPos( Vector( 14, -4, 65))
	iconmodel:SetLookAt( Vector( 0, 0, 66.5 ) )
	
	timer.Create("RefreshAvatar", 1, 0, function()
		if LocalPlayer():GetModel() ~= iconmodel.Entity:GetModel() then
			iconmodel:Remove()
			
			iconmodel = vgui.Create("DModelPanel")
			iconmodel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel())
			function iconmodel:LayoutEntity( Entity ) return end
			iconmodel:SetPos(20, ScrH() - 160)
			iconmodel:SetAnimated(false)
			iconmodel:SetSize(70,70)
			iconmodel:SetCamPos( Vector( 14, -4, 65))
			iconmodel:SetLookAt( Vector( 0, 0, 66.5 ) )
		end
	end)
end
hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "DrawPlayerModel", GM:InitPostEntity())

Thanks for your help :)

Just put an if statement checking if the player has a weapon, and if not then don't run the code

local Weapon = ply:GetActiveWeapon
if IsValid(Weapon) then 
      --Your code here
end

Or just put this above everything that has to do with the ammo counter

if (ply:GetActiveWeapon() == NULL or ply:GetActiveWeapon() == "Camera") then return end

Your first method returns with

[ERROR] addons/darkrpmodification-master/lua/darkrp_modules/hudreplacement/cl_hudreplacement.lua:118: function arguments expected near 'if'
  1. unknown - addons/darkrpmodification-master/lua/darkrp_modules/hudreplacement/cl_hudreplacement.lua:0

Which I don't know how to fix, and your second message glitches the game in which although I have a ) on line 130 to end ( on line 94, it will just continue telling me that, and not draw the HUD.

Also, that doesn't even have anything to do with the ammo counter, as it is connected to the hook that draws the HUD

Nevermind, there's no more problems with the DModelPanel (for some reason redoing it fixed it)
