How do i get the location of a different object. For example, when i press a key i want an object to move to the location of another object. Can anyone help me out?
You need a reference to the other object. Assuming you have that stored in a variable named other_object, you can get its location via other_object.position.
what do i assign the variable other_object to?

If the object you want was created in the GUI you can set other_object using it’s node path, for example
Or, if other_object was created in a script you would create it and store a reference to the new object, something like this
other_object = BadGuy.instance()
Or you can find a node using methods such as get_child or Groups etc
This is one of the most important (and potentially confusing) things you need to understand to get started with Godot - you will use this ALL the time when writing in Godot. I recommend you take a bit of time to watch some of the tutorials about this, for example this one is nice
