How to start Surface GUI Scripting/Mainframe?
This is really my first time scripting, I've looked over some basics, and I understand this is probably a challenging project I'm taking on, but I'm interested in starting to design my own Mainframe that stores information on members using Surface GUIs. Any clue how I'd start this? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What do you mean by a "Mainframe"? A mainframe is just a computer terminal that houses the actual guts of the system, in contrast to a normal terminal that simply connects to it. adark 5487 — 10y

By Mainframe I mean a place where Higher Ranks can enter and store information on members, such as points, comments about an event, the rank of that soldier, ect. It would house the profiles of the members of that group. Swany2 0 — 10y

So basically a database. This isn't too complex in itself, but it's not a venture you shouls embark on if you're new to scripting. It involves DataStore and a whole slew of GUI coding. adark 5487 — 10y

If you're willing, I can give you some 1 on 1 via ROBLOX Message to help you set up a high-quality DataStore database. I'd post it here but the intracacies of it really are situation specific. adark 5487 — 10y

Great! Do you perhaps have a minute to meet at one of my places for me to ask a few questions? Swany2 0 — 10y

Just because I'd assume it'd be a bit clearer if I explained ingame on what exactly I was thinking about. Swany2 0 — 10y

I can't really give you any code to do this but I can give you some pointers.
For storing information : I recommend using DataStore as its much better than the old data persistence and saves a lot better.
For the SurfaceGUIs : Reading the wiki page is a really good place to learn about SurfaceGUIs
You might be able to also find many ROBLOX tutorials on the web about both of them.
