I need help making a GUI pop up by using a clickdetector.

(Ive tried making the GUI pop up using a mousebuttondown function but it doesnt activate the gui)

#3 
local ClickDetector = workspace.ClickDetector -- the click detector obj
local GUI = game.Players.LocalPlayer:WaitForChild("PlayerGui").GUI.Frame -- This is just the gui object
--local script:
ClickDetector.MouseClick:Connect(function()
       GUI.Visible = true
       GUI.Active = true
end
--Tip:Ensure that your GUI objects are parented to a screengui and it must be parented to starter gui.
--In addition, this script must be local to the client

When working with ClickDetectors, you should be using MouseClick instead of MouseButton1Click. The latter is used for TextButtons.

That’s another way to do it.

--//Insert a Part you want the player to click into Workspace,
--//Then insert a ClickDetector and a Script,
--//Then just put your GUI inside the Script.

local ClickD = script.Parent.ClickDetector

function onClick(plr)
  if not plr.PlayerGui:FindFirstChild("YourGuiNameHere") then 
	 local GUI = script.YourGuiNameHere
	 GUI.Parent = plr.PlayerGui		
  end
end

ClickD.MouseClick:Connect(onClick)
