Counting number of Items in a Map

[Mythes]

Hello..
I have a map which spawns items randomly around the map... I wish to make a Multiboard which counts the number of items on a map... But I haven't found any Event or Integer Set that does this... Any ideas or I'll have to JASS it (in which case, I have no idea what to do)

Appreciate the help,
Myt.

have an integer variable.
Anytime you create an item (via triggers or when it is dropped) increase the number of this integer variable.
Profit.

Thanks mate...
I thought of that, but also thought there might be an easier way then that...

Thanks again,
Myt.

rep+ given.

Remember to reduce it if you destroy an item.
Moar profit.

How could there be an even easier way? You just need to increment an integer variable thats about the most basic action a computer can do.

If I had known that this was the easier way and there weren't no other options, I wouldn't have bothered to post it here, now would I?
I'm not a computer programmer, I just try to do my best in WE. I have no idea which is the most basic or the most advanced operation a computer can make.

    Events
        Time - Every 1.00 seconds of game time
    Conditions
    Actions
        Set integer_var = 0
        Item - Pick every item in (Playable map area) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                Set integer_var = (integer_var + 1)
        Multiboard - Set.... etc.

Less profit but makes life easier.

Does not account for items carried by heroes. For those, you'd need to pick all heroes and count their items and do as the above.
