Counting

Members count upward one message at a time. Get it wrong and you lose a life; run out of lives and it resets. It’s a simple idea with a surprising number of dials. Requires Manage Channels.

Setting up

!counting setup #counting

Starts at 0, counting by 1. Both are configurable:

!counting setup #counting 100 5

Starts at 100, counting in steps of 5. Aliases: create, enable, add.

Core settings

!counting set step #counting 2

!counting set lives #counting 3

!counting set cooldown #counting 5

!counting set role #counting @Verified

!counting set current #counting 500

counting set lives is the one that changes the feel most. With 1 life, a single mistake resets everything — tense, and frustrating on a big server. With 3–5, the count survives the occasional slip. counting set cooldown (alias slowmode) stops one person counting alone at speed. 0 disables it.

Milestones and goals

!counting set milestone #counting 100

!counting set milestone #counting 100 {description: **{count}** — nice work everyone}

!counting set goal #counting 1000 @Counter "we did it"

goal takes a number, an optional role granted to everyone who participated, and an optional message. It fires once when the count reaches that number.

Toggles

!counting toggle #counting <option>

Option	Effect
`math`	Allow arithmetic — `50+50` counts as 100
`repeat`	Allow the same person to count twice in a row
`deleteinvalid`	Delete messages that aren’t a valid count
`deleteothers`	Delete messages from members without the required role
`editprotection`	Delete the latest count if its message gets edited
`resetonfail`	Reset to 0 when lives run out
`announceresets`	Post in-channel when the count resets
`announcerecords`	Post in-channel on a new high count
`pinmilestones`	Pin the message that hits a milestone

editprotection closes the most annoying exploit: counting 5, then editing it to 500 so everyone after you is wrong. Turn it on.math is genuinely fun on a server that’s into it — {7*8} for 56 — and unbearable on one that isn’t. Try it and see.

Viewing and resetting

!counting view #counting

!counting leaderboard #counting

!counting list

!counting reset #counting

!counting remove #counting

counting leaderboard (aliases lb, top) needs no permission — anyone can check.

A recommended setup

!counting setup #counting
!counting set lives #counting 3
!counting set cooldown #counting 3
!counting set milestone #counting 100
!counting toggle #counting editprotection
!counting toggle #counting deleteinvalid
!counting toggle #counting announcerecords
!counting toggle #counting resetonfail

Forgiving enough that the count actually grows, protected against the obvious exploits, and it celebrates progress without spamming.

Blacklist the counting channel from levels — otherwise your XP leaderboard becomes a counting leaderboard.

!level blacklist #counting
