How to display a value that is within a character?

Hey, I am having trouble displaying a value located in the "workspace.Charactername" area. The following is what I have in a Local script that is within a text label.

local Clothingvlu = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character.Clothing
local mode = "Bleh"--ignore
script.Parent.Text = "" ..Clothingvlu.Value.. " (P) of clothing."

When I run this I get the following error:

16:17:39.990 - Clothing is not a valid member of Model

16:17:39.991 - Script 'Players.Player.PlayerGui.TradeSystemGUI.ClothingAmount.Loca', Line 1

16:17:39.992 - Stack End

This is especially confusing because I can use this other script with no trouble at all: (Its not a local script)

function onButtonClicked()
--This gets the player who clicked and changes a value within the player
local h = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Character.Clothing

h.Value = 101
print (h.Value)

end

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:connect(onButtonClicked)

Help appreciated

Assuming the first script is in their PlayerGui, the PlayerGui tends to load before the actual character. Use the WaitForChild method to well, wait for the child.

local Clothingvlu = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character:WaitForChild('Clothing')
local mode = "Bleh"--ignore
script.Parent.Text = Clothingvlu.Value.. " (P) of clothing."

Another way is by adding a wait()

repeat wait() until game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local Clothingvlu = game.Players.LocalPlayer.Character
local mode = "Bleh"--ignore
script.Parent.Text = Clothingvlu.Value.. " (P) of clothing."
