Here's a simple script to allow you to place as many pickup items of the same type into your world as you like, by hand, and then have the total be calculated.
It then reports a victory when you get them all.
You can place as many of the objects in your world as you like.
Create a simple box without collision, set it to invisible and name it something like 'CheeseBit_Global'. You can use any other object for getting tracked, I used a bit of cheese.

The entire dynamicsadvance block can be deleted aswell as the respawn variables and any lines pertaining to them. I kept them in because respawning things is needed if you wanted ammo or health pickups that come back. If you do want respawn, change object.delete to object.hide otherwise it's gone from the world.
I used delete because I wanted it gone and not to come back and the main reason for that is that the total-tracking won't update so you would win with icons still present and if it did update the totals when they respawned, you'd never win.
