# Counters

Create counters to know how many users/channels/roles and more are on your servers!

Counters are a way to let your members know how many bots/channels/roles (or more) are on your server. This is faster than count manually :)

## Get all counters

To get all the counters on your server, you can use the <mark style="color:blue;">/counter get</mark> command. This gives you a result like this (but with your counters):

## Create a counter

{% hint style="warning" %}
You have a limit of 5 counters with the free plan. (Enough to have a counter for each category)
{% endhint %}

To create a counter, you need 3 variables.\
First, the channel. The channel is an existing channel that will be the counter and it's updated every 10 minute (to avoid ratelimit).\
\
Then, the format. The format is what is the name of the channel. For example if you want "XX members !!" the format will be "{count} members !!". {count} is a variable that is replaced by the real count.\
\
The last argument is the type. Here is all the types:\
**Member count**: It will count the number of bots AND users.\
**User count**: Only the humans.\
**Bot count**: Only the bots.\
**Channel count**: The number of channels (voice channels, text, forums, categories).\
**Role count**: The number of roles.\
\
Now, you know every variable. Replace the *italic* parameters with the variables and done!\ <mark style="color:blue;">/counter create</mark> <mark style="color:blue;"></mark>*<mark style="color:blue;">channel</mark>* *<mark style="color:blue;">format</mark>* *<mark style="color:blue;">count</mark>*

## Delete a counter

To delete a counter, you have two methods.\
First, (the not very good one): delete the counter channel.\
Second (better way!!): Use the delete command.\
\
To remove a counter, use this command: <mark style="color:blue;">/counter remove</mark> where *<mark style="color:blue;">channel</mark>* is the counter channel. Then, you can delete the counter channel if you want.
