The string change on line 9 requires a tostring() statement: Framee="Frame"..tostring(FrameNumber) Hope this helped!

local Framee = "Frame" .. FrameNumber is only updating for that specific function run through. This essentially means that the variable is worthless since it is defined and then forgotten as it is enclosed inside the function. This is the same for FrameNumber. To make it a variable seen by the entire script, predefine it outside of the function like this:

local FrameNumber = 0
local Framee = "Frame"..FrameNumber

player.Backpack.ChildAdded:connect(function(instance)
    local name=instance.Name
    if name==game.Lighting.E:GetChildren()[1].Name or name==game.Lighting.Q:GetChildren()[1].Name or name==game.Lighting.R:GetChildren()[1].Name or name==game.Lighting.F:GetChildren()[1].Name or name==game.Lighting.G:GetChildren()[1].Name then
        print(instance.Name .. " added to the backpack by item Clone")
    else
        print(instance.Name .. " " .. Framee)
        player.PlayerGui.Invintory[Framee].Frame1.Visible = true
        FrameNumber = FrameNumber + 1
        Framee = "Frame" .. FrameNumber
    end
end)
