Function Return Help? attempt to concatenate string with function

The error is on line 29, trying to set the name so in another script it can tell if the part touched anything. I am purposely doing this on the client side. If there is anyway I can do this inside this script keeping it on the client, let me know. Here is my local script, inside a tool:

01local gun = script.Parent
02local ammo = game.ReplicatedStorage.NormalGunAmmo
03local ActiveBullets = game.Workspace.ActiveBullets
04 
05local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer
06local mouse = player:GetMouse()
07 
08local debounce = false
09local count = 0
10 
11local function number()
12    for i,v in pairs(ActiveBullets:GetChildren())do
13        count = count+1
14    end
15    return count
16end
17 
18gun.Activated:Connect(function()
19    if debounce == false then
20        debounce = true
21        local bullet = ammo:Clone()
22        bullet.CFrame = gun.Handle.CFrame
23 
24        local BodyVelocity = Instance.new("BodyVelocity",bullet)
25        BodyVelocity.P = Vector3.new(10000,10000,10000)
26        BodyVelocity.Velocity = mouse.Hit.LookVector * 100
27 
28        bullet.Parent = ActiveBullets
29        bullet.Name = "Bullet"..number
30        wait(.75)
31        debounce = false
32    end
33end)

Error is in the title, and again, it occurs on line 29 trying to set the name, thanks!

Plus, you should declare another variable, since the script can get confused. CrypxticDoge 135 — 4y

Replace line 29 with bullet.Name = "Bullet"..number() rabbi99 714 — 4y
