Hiii Im currently working on a tower defense game and I was wondering how can I add a limit on how much of a certain unit I can place. As you can see, the limit is 4. What is the best way that I can implement this

Maybe like adding +1 and then make if there is finally 4 then not be able to place anymore.
I am not a scripter but I hopr you understand.

add a ( numberValue/number attribute ) when the player first join and when the player send a remote event check if his numberValue is < the tower Placement limit and if it is then increment the numberValue by 1

function UnitSpawnModule.Spawn(player, name, cframe)
local AllowedToSpawn = UnitSpawnModule.CheckSpawn(player, name)

if AllowedToSpawn then
	print("Spawning "..name)
	
	local newUnit = ReplicatedStorage.Units[name]:Clone()
	newUnit:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart").CFrame = cframe
	newUnit.Parent = workspace.Units
	
	
	local UnitNumberExists = player:FindFirstChild(name)

	if UnitNumberExists then
		local UnitNumber = player:FindFirstChild(name)
		UnitNumber.Value += 1
		
	else
		local UnitNumber = Instance.new("IntValue")
		UnitNumber.Name = name
		UnitNumber.Parent = player
		UnitNumber.Value = 0
		UnitNumber.Value +=1
		UnitAddEvent:FireClient(player)
	end
	
	
		newUnit.HumanoidRootPart:SetNetworkOwner(nil)
		--local humPart = newUnit:WaitForChild("HumanoidRootPart")


		local bodyGyro = Instance.new("BodyGyro")
		bodyGyro.MaxTorque = Vector3.new(math.huge, math.huge, math.huge)
		bodyGyro.D = 0
		bodyGyro.CFrame = newUnit.HumanoidRootPart.CFrame
		bodyGyro.Parent = newUnit.HumanoidRootPart

		player.Money.Value -= newUnit.Config.Cost.Value
		
	   
		


		coroutine.wrap(UnitSpawnModule.Attack)(newUnit, player)
	

	
else
	warn("Requested Unit does not exist: "..name)
end

end

This is the code I made in my module script: (The module will look for an int value with the same name as the Unit I will spawn. if it doesn’t find one, It will create an Int value inside the player and will add 1 to the value. Im trying to figure out now how to implement a limit based on a int value inside the Unit itself. Here is the example with Finn:

local Count = 0
for i,v in pairs(workspace.Units:GetChildren()) do
    if v.Name == name then
        Count+=1
    end
end
if ReplicatedStorage.Units[name].Config.Limit then
    if Count >= ReplicatedStorage.Units[name].Config.Limit.Value then
        AllowedToSpawn = false -- Limit reached
    end

    warn(name.."has no spawn limit")
