How to make a gui pop up when player CLICKS a block?

I'll just send you the script here, make sure to look into it because I made it for you for free.
local Click = script.Parent.Click
function Clicked()
local plr = game.Players:FindFirstChild(game.Players.LocalPlayer.Name)
plr.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true
end
Click.MouseClick:connect(Clicked)
This should work, just make sure to reroute some variables so it works.
To do this, you need to place a ClickDetector into the block itself. You can read more about those here.
Once that is added, you need to add a script under the ClickDetector that fires whenever it is activated through a mouse click. Below is the example used by Roblox.
local clickDetector = workspace.Part.ClickDetector
function onMouseClick()
print("You clicked me!")
end
clickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onMouseClick)
Alternatively, you can replace the clickDetector variable to just have script.Parent. Either way, they can work but it gets kinda messy if you have multiple blocks with click detectors. That's why I'd use the script.Parent method.

so in the function mouse click instead of "print me" i can set the gui visibility to true?

Yes, you can insert whatever code you want to be ran. Here's a helpful tip, the MouseClick event has a parameter of the player that activated the click. So you can use function onMouseClick(plr) where plr would be referring to the Player that clicked the part. It makes life easy.
