My LUA variable wont work in another method?

[Chizbang]

Hey!
Im trying to make a SWEP which switches models. I make a variable in the initialise method named playerModel and set it equal to the current player model when the SWEP initialises. In the primary attack method I change the player model to something random. I then in the secondary attack method make it change the players model to the original model with the variable in the initialisation method.
Any ideas?
Code:

function SWEP:Initialize()
	self:SetWeaponHoldType("normal")
	
	if SERVER then
	 playermodel = LocalPlayer():GetModel()
	 end
	 
end



function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
	local trace = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace()

	if CLIENT then

	end

if SERVER then

			  self.Owner:SetModel("models/player/Group01/male_04.mdl") -- this works fine
		print(playermodel)
		end
end

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
	local trace = self.Owner:GetEyeTrace()
	
	if SERVER then

			  self.Owner:SetModel(playermodel) -- this doesnt work at all.
		end
	
end

You are not updating the variable when you change the model because of this playermodel is just going to stay the same as it was when initialized

Assuming this will work:
[lua]
function SWEP:Initialize()
self:SetWeaponHoldType("normal")
end

function SWEP:Deploy()
local owner = self.Owner
self.OOldModel = owner:GetModel()
self:SendWeaponAnim(ACT_VM_DRAW)
return true
end

function SWEP:PrimaryAttack()
if CLIENT then return end
self.Owner:SetModel("models/player/Group01/male_04.mdl")
end

function SWEP:SecondaryAttack()
if CLIENT then return end
self.Owner:SetModel(self.OOldModel)
end
[/lua]

I'm not sure who taught you how to indent your lines but they taught you wrong.
