In order to detect when someone activates a ClickDetector, you need to utilize an event so that the script will be listening for that action. In this case, you can use the MouseClick event of the ClickDetector and :Connect it to a designated function when it is activated.

Example #1

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

local function onClick()
    -- Code
end

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(onClick) -- When the ClickDetector is activated, it'll be connected to the function called "onClick"

Example #2 (Anonymous Function)

local ClickDetector = script.Parent.ClickDetector

ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
    -- Code
end)
