# Counting
> A counting channel with lives, milestones, goals and arithmetic support.
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
```javascript theme={null}
!counting setup #counting
```
Starts at 0, counting by 1. Both are configurable:
```javascript theme={null}
!counting setup #counting 100 5
```
Starts at 100, counting in steps of 5. Aliases: `create`, `enable`, `add`.
## Core settings
```javascript Step size theme={null}
!counting set step #counting 2
```
```javascript Lives before a reset theme={null}
!counting set lives #counting 3
```
```javascript Per-user cooldown theme={null}
!counting set cooldown #counting 5
```
```javascript Restrict to a role theme={null}
!counting set role #counting @Verified
```
```javascript Fix the count manually theme={null}
!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.
## Reaction emojis
```javascript theme={null}
!counting set emoji #counting correct ✅
!counting set emoji #counting incorrect ❌
```
What gets reacted to each count.
## Milestones and goals
```javascript Celebrate every 100 theme={null}
!counting set milestone #counting 100
```
```javascript With a custom message theme={null}
!counting set milestone #counting 100 {description: **{count}** — nice work everyone}
```
```javascript A target to reach theme={null}
!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
```javascript theme={null}
!counting toggle #counting
