Ive never done this before and I have no idea how to do ANYTHING. I would like this question answered but any tips AT ALL are welcome

Best thing is to read the online help and try to understand the tutorial

Here's how I did it.

msg ("A lady, interesting. Well, every character needs an epic name
worthy of them. What's yours?")
get input {
player.alias = result
msg ("I will be speaking to you soon, " + player.alias)

You get input and set it to the player's name. Then, you address the player as player.alias

I hope this helps! :)
