You could change a variable by 1 whenever it bounces, ad then the variable is 16 stop the script.

when gf clicked
set [number v] to (16)
if<<touching [edge v]>or<touching[sprite 1 v]>>
change [number v] by (-1)
end

like this?

Anyone help me?  This is an example of a block (or blocks) I need:

move (5) steps to (mouse x)

YAY IT WORKED!!!

An example of what I need is

for (var1) changed by (-1) change (var2) by (-1)

You could change them at the same time...How do the variables relate to each other?  Are they always equal?  Always a certain amount apart?

An alternative for movement along a single axis (that I think is more simple):

when gf clicked
forever if<([abs v] of ((mouse x)-(x position))) > [3]>
if<(mouse x) > (x position)>
change x by (5)
else
change x by (-5)
end

Making it "greater than 3" instead of "greater than 5" is a slight improvement on the last script, and using the "change x" block more explicitly shows what you want (if someone wants to download and look/understand your script) as well as - arguably - more directly accomplishing it.

In your ball sprite, there is a script that looks like this:

if <touching [edge v]?>
if <(gball) = [true]>
point towards [Stick v]
move (6) steps
else
point in direction ((180)-(direction))
move (6) steps
turn cw (pick random (-40) to (40)) degrees
end
end

Add the "change [Bounces v] by (1)" block.

if <touching [edge v]?>
change [Bounces v] by (1)
if <(gball) = [true]>
point towards [Stick v]
move (6) steps
else
point in direction ((180)-(direction))
move (6) steps
turn cw (pick random (-40) to (40)) degrees
end
end
