I am trying to make a script that clones a frame and makes the parent something in starter GUI. On Click function. I am not sure if I can do something like this.

Frame:Clone() Frame.Parent =

Forgot to mention ''local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ServerStorage.Data'' Arkiteckt 38 — 3y

Yes you can, when you clone something it copies the object, but it does not have a parent, meaning you would have to parent it

local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ServerStorage.Data
local Clone = Frame:Clone() -- clones it
Clone.Parent = -- sets the parent, etc etc

You can also do;

local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ServerStorage.Data
Frame:Clone().Parent = -- you do not have to make the clone a variable, you can also set the parent from here

Hope this helps

--what you'd need to do is something like this:
local Frame = script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.ServerStorage.Data
local CloneParent = game.--enter desired parent here
local CloneFrame = Frame:Clone()
CloneFrame.Parent = CloneParent
