Just so you can get an idea of what I'm talking about:
I'm trying to create a tag system that will float above your head depending on what you named your clan/team in the game.
Sort of like the group tags that are kind of common in war group places that identify what group you're in and your rank in it. Although, instead of finding your ROBLOX group on the website, a GUI asks you to input a name for your clan/tag and then simply displays the name above your head.

I'm not asking anyone to script this for me (unless they want to lol), I'm simply asking how I can get user input and store it into a variable so I can place it into a billboard GUI.

If you don't understand what I typed, please respond and I will try to clarify.

You'll need a StringValue, a ScreenGui, a Frame a TextBox, and a BillboardGui

Thanks for clarifying what I need, but I am more in need of a how-to.

Could you start me off, and explain what I need to do to finish the script?

There was a property called GroupTag or ClanTag somewhere I believe.

You'll need a StringValue, a ScreenGui, a Frame a TextBox, and a BillboardGui.

Use a .Changed on the stringvalue, then change the text in the billboardgui to the value of the stringvalue.
Change the stringvalue by a textbox in a screengui.

Billboard script;


Input = StringValue --Path to the StringValue

Input.Changed:connect(function()
--Change BillboardGui to Input.Value
end)


TextBox script;

Output = StringValue --Path to the StringValue

--Detect input
--Set Output.Value to input

I dont really udnerstand what you want, so I'll just make it display a name above their head


game.Players.PlayerAdded:connect(function(plr)
wait(2);--waits for children
char = plr.Character;
bill = Instance.new("BillboardGui", char.Head);
text = Instance.new("TextLabel", bill);
text.Text = plr.Name;
text.BackgroundTransparency = 1;
text.FontSize = 48;
text.TextColor = Color3.new(70/255,1/255,200/255);
end)

--wasnt tested, hope it works.
