Hi there, could I be given some pointers on how to create an undertale/earthbound-esque interaction system? What I mean by this is walking up to an object, pressing enter or a specific key, and having a text box pop up with some flavor text. Thanks in advance

For this to work you need to know if you are next to something you can interact with or not. A very simple way of detecting this is by using collision objects. The thing you want to interact with should have a collision object and your player character should have one as well. The simplest collision object is a trigger object. Example:
A text box can be created using the gui system. A box node for the popup background and a text node for the flavor text.
