Current Behavior

If $math is used with only a number return variable (eg. $math[$randomNumber[0,100]] or $math[$chatUserCount]), it returns -1 and warns with a failure message in the console

Expected Behavior

if a number-typed value is entered into $math, it should correctly be returned

Steps To Reproduce

1. Create a Log Message Effect
2. Add $math[$randomNumber[0, 100]]
3. Run the effect
4. Observe in the logs, it warns with a failure message and logs -1
