Put your code into a code block

Try changing your script to this:

local Clicker = script.Parent
local Object = game.ServerStorage:WaitForChild("smallship")
local ObjectSpawn = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("Regen")

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
   local CloneObject = Object:Clone()
   CloneObject.Parent = game.Workspace
   CloneObject.Position = Vector3.new(161, 2.5, -91)
end)

Also if you want to use CFram, you should read a little bit on this article: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/Understanding-CFrame

I don't think you need the method wait for child since this is a server script.

No, but it will still work. I only changed line 9
