Need help with ModelView file in lua/autorun

[Jubag]

Hey guys, I've been trying to create a modelview that only works when a person is alive.

I've placed this in lua/autorun

if (LocalPlayer():Alive()) or LocalPlayer():Team() ~= TEAM_SPEC then
 local function clhudmodel()
		iconmodel = vgui.Create("DModelPanel")
		iconmodel:SetModel( LocalPlayer():GetModel())
			function iconmodel:LayoutEntity( Entity ) return end
		iconmodel:SetPos(22, ScrH() - 150)
		iconmodel:SetAnimated(true)
		iconmodel:SetSize(130,130)
		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(22, ScrH() - 150)
				iconmodel:SetAnimated(true)
				iconmodel:SetSize(130,130)
				iconmodel:SetCamPos( Vector( 14, 4, 65))
				iconmodel:SetLookAt( Vector( 0, 0, 66.5 ) )
			end
		end)
end

hook.Add("InitPostEntity", "DrawPlayerModel", clhudmodel)
end

And I keep getting an error about how Alive is a nil value for LocalPlayer().

This is because everything hasn't initialized yet, including LocalPlayer().

How do I fix this, so that I can make the script "wait" until everything is initialized before running?

Thanks for your help.
