So my GUI is working perfectly fine in studio, but not in game. the Server log Error in game reads:

Workspace.Part.Script:5: attempt to index field "LocalPlayer" (a nil value)

Here is my script

local Gui = script.Parent.CardGiverGui

function onClicked()
    local GUI = Gui:Clone()
    GUI.Parent = game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

The problem is that only a local script has access to the property LocalPlayer.

The MouseClick event passes the player who clicked it as an arg.

Example(Server Script):-

local Gui = script.Parent.CardGiverGui

function onClicked(plrWhoClicked)
    -- you might also want to check if they have the gui
   Gui:Clone().Parent = plrWhoClicked.PlayerGui
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:connect(onClicked)

I hope this help.
