I don’t think you can use game:GetService() inside Starter Gui I think you need to get the player gui. Which you can easily get by doing:

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local playerGui = player:WaitForChild("PlayerGui")

Local script, place it inside the “Frame” instance (I fixed the reference to the frame). Also I’ve added a bit of code which checks whether or not the input (E keypress) was processed by a core component of the game, in other words if the input occurred because the user hit the “E” key while they were typing in chat, then the input is ignored (and the frame isn’t made visible).
