free model goes localplayer, in a server script. how do i fix it?

so because I'm lazy and I can't be bothered making an r15 noob, I dragged one in from the toolbox. eazy. the thing is this character had an animate script. helps me a lot. problem is, whenever I run the game, it says attempt to index local player, a nil value. yes, its in a server script. I would like it to work in case its critical, so can you guys help with a solution? :D
code:

game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
	local emote = ""
	if (string.sub(msg, 1, 3) == "/e ") then
		emote = string.sub(msg, 4)
	elseif (string.sub(msg, 1, 7) == "/emote ") then
		emote = string.sub(msg, 8)
	end
	
	if (pose == "Standing" and emoteNames[emote] ~= nil) then
		playAnimation(emote, 0.1, Humanoid)
	end
end)

thanks!
