How do I implement a "Reload after _ hits" into my TD script?

I have a tower script, and it works. I want to add a “reload after _ hits” for certain towers. how would I do this?

function tower.Attack(newTower, player)
	local config = newTower.Config
	local target = tower.FindTarget(newTower, config.Range.Value, config.TargetMode.Value)
	
	if target and target:FindFirstChild("Humanoid") then
		local targetCFrame = CFrame.lookAt(newTower.HumanoidRootPart.Position, target.HumanoidRootPart.Position)
		
		newTower.HumanoidRootPart.BodyGyro.CFrame = targetCFrame
		
		AnimateEvent:FireAllClients(newTower, "Attack")
		
		if target.Humanoid.Jump ~= true then
			for i, plrs in ipairs(game.Players:GetPlayers()) do  
				if target.Humanoid.Health < config.Damage.Value then
					plrs.leaderstats.Money.Value += target.Humanoid.Health
				else
					plrs.leaderstats.Money.Value += config.Damage.Value
				end
			end
		end

		if target.Humanoid.Jump ~= true then
			if target.Humanoid.Health < config.Damage.Value then
				target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(target.Humanoid.Health)
			else
				target.Humanoid:TakeDamage(config.Damage.Value)
			end
		end
		
		local sound = Instance.new("Sound")
		sound.SoundId = newTower.HumanoidRootPart.Attack.SoundId
		sound.Parent = newTower.HumanoidRootPart
		sound.RollOffMode = Enum.RollOffMode.Linear
		sound.PlayOnRemove = true
		
		local random = math.random(1,2)
		if random == 1 then
			sound.PlaybackSpeed = 1
			sound:Destroy()
		elseif random == 2 then
			sound.PlaybackSpeed = 0.8
			sound:Destroy()
		end
		task.wait(config.Cooldown.Value)
		
		--abilities
		if newTower then
			if config:FindFirstChild("OriginalTower").Value == "Mercenary" then
				local humanoid = target:FindFirstChildOfClass("Humanoid")

				if humanoid and humanoid:IsA("Humanoid") then
					humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
						player.leaderstats.Money.Value += newTower.Config.MoneyPerKill.Value
						if newTower.Head then
							newTower.Head.MoneyGain.TextLabel.Visible = true
							newTower.Head.MoneyGain.TextLabel.Text = "$"..newTower.Config.MoneyPerKill.Value
							newTower.Head.MoneyGain.TextLabel.TextTransparency = 0
							newTower.Head.Cash:Play()
							for i = 1,10 do
								if newTower.Head then
									newTower.Head.MoneyGain.TextLabel.TextTransparency += 0.1
									newTower.Head.MoneyGain.ExtentsOffset += Vector3.new(0, 0.1, 0)
									wait(0.1)
								end
							end
							newTower:FindFirstChild("Head"):FindFirstChild("MoneyGain").TextLabel.Visible = false
						end
					end)
				end
			end
		end
	end
    task.wait(0.05)
	
	if newTower and newTower.Parent then
		tower.Attack(newTower, player)
	end
end

you can make a value for how many hits and then after every time it shoots subtract it by 1. if it it hits zero you can just reload and reset the hits again

#3

do i add the value inside of the function? because this is one script controlling all towers.

#4

idk maybe add an IntValue in the tower so it can be accessed as tower.Hits
