Variable Operators:
Variable operators allow you to modify the output of a variable with a special variable suffix.
Integer Variables -
Add a "+", "-", "*", or "/" followed by a number after any integer type variable to apply the operation to it.
Example: %onlineplayers%+10
Array Variables -
Add a "[x]", where x is the index within the array, after any array type variable to only display one list item.
Otherwise, arrays are displayed as "x, y, z"
Array variables of integer type are not eligible for integer operations after the index declaration.
Example: %playernames%[2]
<button type="button" class="button bbCodeSpoilerButton ToggleTrigger Tooltip JsOnly" title="Click to reveal or hide spoiler" data-target="> .SpoilerTarget">Spoiler: Custom Variables</button>
