How can I make it so that when I have lit four special candles something will happen(In my case a monster despawning)?

You'll want to set up a global or local variable and set it to 0. When you light a candle, +1 to the variable. When the variable equals 4, make the active monster entity set to false.

Uhm... I've been trying to get it to work, but I don't entirely understand variables. What do I have to do to make the candles add one to the variable, and how do I make it register it when it reaches 4?

You would use the SetEntityCallbackFunc function to set a callback on the candles, and if "OnIgnite", then add 1 to the local (or global) variable.
