Can I do simple math in commands?

[Slient_Assassin]

Is it possible to do some simple math within a command without having a customAPI, and have variables that would increment down when a command is called instead of up like $count?

I am going to be streaming No Man’s Sky when it comes out, and thought it would be a cool idea to have a !planet command that counts down how many I have left to find. Really, it would be an excercise in the scale of a universe, since there are 18,446,744,073,709 551,616 (also known as 2 ^64), planets in the game. Output would be something along the lines of:

Slient_Assassin: !planet
Nightbot: That’s [X] planets down, $(18,446,744,073,709,551,615 – [X]) to go!

I would also like to be able to have a separate command for viewers to call, like !explored, that wouldn’t increment the counter.

EDIT: Also, calling $(count) multiple times in the same command ends up incrementing it more than once each call. I was testing with $(count) planets down, (18,446,744,073,709,551,616 - $(count)) planets to go. If I call this, It outputs “1 planets down, 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 - 2) planets to go.”

Same situation I responded to here:

Script language for better commands

It’s possible we might add additional functionality, but it will likely will not be in the form of raw code executed within the existing command responses system. As @Slikrick stated, it’s extremely hard to run logic like that without abuse, and commands are were not designed with that type of logic in mind (max message length is 1000 characters, even). The logic has to be taken out of our message parsing system in order to make it approachable, since we can then properly isolate any untrusted c…
