how do i just get the result of a calc assigned to a variable?

eg:
{assign var='offSetX' value=-60-$posX }

if posX is 30 returns:
"-60-30"

whereas i want -90

math and eval dont seem to be the way to do it either...

even tho i have done really tricky stuff in smarty, every time i go away
for a day i get stumped by the syntax on variables. it really is kind of
un-intuitive...

{capture ... } ?
