	local gui =script.Parent.SCIKOINSPENDER -- This is the gui that i want to make it appear
	gui:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui

I don't see any errors in the script. Try temporarily moving the screen gui to startergui and make sure you can see what you put into the gui.

First, before I get started, I want to point a few things out:

  1. Use :Connect not :connect. connect is deprecated

so if we change that, we have:

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    local gui =script.Parent.SCIKOINSPENDER -- This is the gui that i want to make it appear
    gui:Clone().Parent = player.PlayerGui

end)
  1. Use variables and :WaitForChild, sometimes the items don't load.
local CD = script.Parent:WaitForChild('ClickDetector')
local gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild('SCIKOINSPENDE')
CD.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
    gui:Clone().Parent = player:WaitForChildPlayerGui
end)
  1. now, make the clone into a variable to make it neater:
local CD = script.Parent:WaitForChild('ClickDetector')
local gui = script.Parent:WaitForChild('SCIKOINSPENDE')
CD.MouseClick:Connect(function(player)
	local cloning = gui:Clone()
	cloning.Parent = plr:WaitForChild('PlayerGui')
end)
  1. Your done! Now if it still doesn't work, make sure the frames and stuff inside the GUI are visible!

Good luck on your goal!
