game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	script.Parent.Handle.Interaction.Triggered:Connect(function()

		local Tool = ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Chips:Clone()

		for _,v in pairs(player.Character:GetChildren()) do

			script.Parent:Destroy()
			
			game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Chips.Value += 1
			
		end
	end)
end)

every time i try and add 1 to an int value it gives me an error saying “Workspace.Tools.Chips.Script:25: attempt to perform arithmetic (add) on Instance and number”

Is Chips an IntValue or is Value the IntValue?

Try replacing this with:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Tools.Chips.Value.Value

the IntValue is inside the chips

Yeah, then you need to do Value.Value

It’s okay, sometimes it can be slightly confusing since Roblox automatically names all values to Value, so you think you’re accessing the actual value when you are actually just accessing the instance.
