Help with Trigger

Hi Everyone,

I am stuck on a trigger. I want this to populate the Inside Sales Representative on the record being saved.  However I am getting an error:

Review all error messages below to correct your data.
Apex trigger OpportunityISR caused an unexpected exception, contact your administrator: OpportunityISR: execution of BeforeInsert caused by: System.NullPointerException: Attempt to de-reference a null object: Trigger.OpportunityISR: line 5, column 1


Here is the Trigger Code:

trigger OpportunityISR on Opportunity (before insert){
    Opportunity oppty;
Set<Id> OpptyId= new Set<Id>();
    
    if(oppty.Inside_Sales_Representative__c == null) {
      oppty.Inside_Sales_Representative__c = Userinfo.getUserId();
      System.debug('Setting Sales Representative to ' + Userinfo.getUserId());       
    } else {
      if(Trigger.isInsert) {
        oppty.Inside_Sales_Representative__c = Userinfo.getUserId();
        System.debug('Setting Opportunity Owner to ' + Userinfo.getUserId());       
      }
}
                     }

Hi Edwin that fixed the error - but for some reason its is not inserting the ID in the field to pull up the proper person on saving the record

Is your Debug statement printed correctly?

The debug statement is not printed correctly - Once I corrected that statement it worked fine! Thank you Edwin!
