You should put your copy clone variable in the function so every time you click, it clones it instead of cloning ONLY ONCE

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local player = Players.LocalPlayer
local mouse = player:GetMouse()
local Object = game.ServerStorage.Dot


mouse.Button1Down:Connect(function()
    local copy = Object:Clone()
    copy.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame
    copy.Position = UDim2.new(0,mouse.X - 10, 0,mouse.Y + 25 )
end)

You also instead of defining copy clone's Parent, you instead redefined the copy variable as an Instance location. Hope that solves your issue! :)

Seems like you forgot to add ".Parent" in line 9

copy.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame

But if u need to copy your object more than once, u have to put

local copy = Object:Clone()

into function.
