I really enjoy doing stop motion photography but I just learned that the camera I am using isn't meant for stop motion. I also heard that the camera is only good for a certain amount of clicks. So instead of the camera I have right now what camera should I use?

What are you saying when you say a camera is only good for a certain amount of clicks. Are you talking about shutter cycles? Are you talking about how many shots you can take before the camera buffer fills and you have to wait until those images write to the memory card?
What exactly do you mean by "stop motion"
What that could mean is freezing the action when shooting sports. That just takes a high shutter speed, 1/500th or faster
What it could also mean is something called time-lapse photography, were incremental shots are taken over a specific period of time and then later compiled and played back as a video
What do YOU mean by "stop action" and tell us more about your number of clicks on a camera.
One of my cameras has over 200,000 shutter cycles on it and it is working just fine
The camera I use when shooting time lapse is an old Nikon D200. I can set it up on a tripod, set the exposure manually and use an AC adapter to power it as long as necessary or until I fill the memory card
