The problem is GetPlayerFromCharacter(Clicked). The MouseClick() event gives us the Player clicking the ClickDetector, not the Character. So we don't need that function.
You need to use a remote event for this, but the GetPlayerFromCharacter function isn't needed, and you don't need to do game:WaitForChild("Players").First insert a remote event somewhere that both, the client and the server can access (replicated storage would be good) and now you need a local script.The local script cannot be put inside workspace because local scripts in workspace do not run. Now in the local script do this
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Put the name of the remote event here"):OnClientEvent(function()
game.Players.LocalPlayer.PlayerGui.ScreenGui.Frame.Visible = true
end)
once you do that, inside the click detector script do this
game.ReplicatedStorage:WaitForChild("Put the name of the remote event here"):FireClient(Clicked)
You will always need a player parameter when doing FireClient so you can use Clicked because the player was passed in it
