unfortunately skript isn't magic, we will have to use specific syntax to get stuff done

you can refer to arguments by either using the argument's index (or, what number it is in the list. 1 for the first argument, 2 for the second, etc), or by using the type of the argument (in this case, string). you would then prefix that with `arg-`. for example, `arg-1` for the first argument, or `arg-string` for the string argument

with this, you can refer to any argument, including the selected player. then, with that string argument, you could get the player from the name via `arg-1 parsed as player`.
though, there's a better method. you can change the argument from `<string>` to `<player>`, and then just use `arg-player` or `arg-1` to refer to the selected player.

armed with that knowledge, you would then do `spawn lightning at arg-player`

i hope this helps c:

it might be better to use the effect dedicated to striking lightning, documented here https://skripthub.net/docs/?id=1139
