Add a simple part into the Workspace. Inside that part add a ClickDetector. Inside that ClickDetector add an IntValue and a Script.
Now write this in the script:
script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function()
local X = script.Parent.Value.Value
if X == 1 then
X = X + 1
end
end)
I thought this would add 1 to the IntValue the first time you click the part, but it doesn't. Why not?
The problem is the variable. Since the variable is property it becomes sort of "read only". You can't change the property through the variable X. You may change the ObjectValues's property if it's a variable. So that means that you can do this:
script.Parent.MouseClick:connect(function()
local X = script.Parent.Value --Object Value
if X.Value == 1 then --script.Parent.Value.Value is "1" then...
X.Value = X.Value + 1 --script.Parent.Value.Value = script.Parent.Value.Value+1.
end
end)
Oh, I see. So what you are saying is that properties of objects can't be assigned variables to change them? Thanks! I didn't know that!

I left this comment 15 minutes after I answered. I usually don't do that unless someone upvotes or the asker comments on my answer. If you take to long then I'll also do that.
Maybe in the future wait a little longer than that to give time for the asker to actually get online. For example, in my case I asked this question, went to school, and then returned home and read your answer.
