I would instantiate the clones into a List of objects. And just check the count of the List when instantiating to see if you are able to or not.

List<GameObject> objs = new List<GameObject>();
int maxObjs = 10;

if (objs.count < maxObjs)
{
    //Instantiation code
    objs.add(/*Instantiated object*/);
}

If I was setting this system up I would create an int, maybe…

public int platformParts;

…and every time you build a platform call…

platformParts = platformParts - 1;

Then have an if statement for the build platform function like…

if (platformParts >= 1)
//build platform//

This way you can have the player collect more “platform parts” by cutting down a tree cough fortnite cough and upon that action just …

platformParts ++;
