Attempt to perform arithmetic (add) on instance and number?

This probably has a really simple fix and I am just an idiot and I recently started scripting and I have multiple gaps in knowledge. I’m not sure why I am getting this error.

I am trying to add 1 to this number value under a local script in StarterGui after an event has been fired from the server.

The value of the NumberValue is 0. Here is the script:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Cameras.CameraCounter.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	script.Value += 1
end)

So yeah, like I said it’s probably something dumb I haven’t done correctly.

You’re referring to the .Value property of the script, not the NumberValue.

Currently, you are trying to add the value instance, parented to the script, to 1. In order to increase the value by one, you need to do:

game.ReplicatedStorage.Cameras.CameraCounter.OnClientEvent:Connect(function()
	script.Value.Value += 1
end)

Knew it was something dumb, thank you.
