How do I make UI appear when a part is clicked?
Hello, I am currently trying to make ScreenGui appear in a Player's PlayerGui. I am having a difficult time trying to do this, someone please help!
local C1 = script.Parent.Parent.Chassis.ClickDetector
function Clicked(n)
local character = game.Players.LocalPlayer
local UI = game.ServerStorage.UnitUI:clone()
local player = n:GetPlayerFromCharacter()
UI.Parent = player.PlayerGui
end
C1.MouseClick:connect(Clicked)
UnitUI is a ScreenGui with a TextBox and other random stuff in it, which is all in ServerStorage. This is all in a LocalScript.
A response is appreciated!

As far as I know, listening to the MouseClick event of a ClickDetector should be done from a server script, because the playerWhoClicked is passed in as an argument of the RBXScriptSignal to allow the developer to know which player had clicked the ClickDetector.
Knowing this, the n in your Clicked(n) function definition is the player who clicked. Let's rename it to something more informative, such as playerWhoClicked. Remember, we want this event to be handled in a server script, so you'll have to make some simple changes that would go something like this:
local C1 = script.Parent.Parent.Chassis.ClickDetector
function Clicked(playerWhoClicked)
local UI = game.ServerStorage.UnitUI:clone()
UI.Parent = playerWhoClicked.PlayerGui
end
C1.MouseClick:connect(Clicked)
(another minor mistake I found is that you believed that game.Players.LocalPlayer returns a character, when in fact, it returns the actual Player object - but that is unnecessary for this script since it is a server script. Just letting you know for future reference!)
