The MouseClick event from the ClickDetector provides you with the player that clicked. Knowing this you could directly access their PlayerGui to add a new Gui.

function OnClick(playerThatClicked)
    local guiclone = script.Buyframe:Clone() --Use :Clone()
    guiclone.Parent = playerThatClicked.PlayerGui 
end

script.Parent.ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(OnClick) --connect is deprecated. Use Connect.

This adds a Gui to the Player using the server. You could also do this using a local script to have more functionality when editing the gui.

If I missed anything or you need anything explained let me know.

Server can add to the PlayerGui which is all I'm doing. Nothing is new here. xPolarium 1388 — 5y

@Imperialy, the server cannot access existing members of the PlayerGui. It can add to it, though, and of course access those members. Gey4Jesus69 2705 — 5y

Assuming you have my exact code, it should be a server Script inside the Part you click with a ClickDetector in that Part too. Make sure your "Buyframe" is inside the script so it can clone it. Read the hierarchy path in the script to see what I mean. xPolarium 1388 — 5y
