Simple question, how do I turn a string value into a int value. In Python, the programming languages I'm most comfortable with, you simple write:
strvalue = "3"
toadd = 7
strvalue = int(strvalue)
total = strvalue + toadd
But how can i do this in Lua

Well, if it's 2.33 he will just have to make a numberValue instead, makes no difference + he asked how to turn a string into an integer, and there is simply no way to make "2.33" an int, considering that an int can't have decimals

There's a built-in called "tonumber" that will convert to a number type from a string type. For example; tonumber("5") --> 5
Just grab whats in the IntValue, then delete the invalue, then put everything in the IntValue into the number value :P
