there is an example in votan's answer,I colored it, you'll have to temper with it a bit, he uses the var dirty to even tell if it was necessary to update or not. Now that your counting function is shortened to a minimum, you can run it each time you open the map.

But the tooltip creator of the map pins is/can be a callback-function, which can do anything you want before adding text to the tooltip.

you can count the baits the first time a pin is hovered (creator callback is called the first time) and cache the values until map gets closed again.

uncomplete example:

Code:

...
local dirty = true
...
	local creator = {
		creator = function(pin)
			local _, tag = pin:GetPinTypeAndTag()
if dirty then
--count baits, if first time and cache
dirty = false
end
--fill text variable
			if IsInGamepadPreferredMode() then
				ZO_MapLocationTooltip_Gamepad:AddLine(text)
			else
				local r, g, b = ZO_TOOLTIP_DEFAULT_COLOR:UnpackRGB()
				InformationTooltip:AddLine(text, "", r, g, b, CENTER, MODIFY_TEXT_TYPE_NONE, TEXT_ALIGN_CENTER)
			end
		end,
		tooltip = 1,
	}

	self.layout = {
		level = data.settings.pinLevel or 30,
		size = data.settings.pinSize or 32,
		insetX = 4,
		insetY = 4,
		texture = "esoui/art/icons/achievements_indexicon_fishing_down.dds",
		tint = function(pin)
			local _, tag = pin:GetPinTypeAndTag()
			return tag:GetColor()
		end,
	}

	ZO_WorldMap_AddCustomPin(data.pinType, LayoutPins, nil, self.layout, creator)
...

do
	local function WorldMapStateChanged(oldState, newState)
		if (newState == SCENE_FRAGMENT_HIDING) then
			dirty=true
-- next time count baits again
		end
	end
	WORLD_MAP_SCENE:RegisterCallback("StateChange", WorldMapStateChanged)
	GAMEPAD_WORLD_MAP_SCENE:RegisterCallback("StateChange", WorldMapStateChanged) 
end
...

For counting the baits, you could try circonian's idea.

/edit: Ok, I'm even more slow

maybe try this instead
but as I said, i can't test it and i'm the queen of typos. good luck

Code:

local function WorldMapStateChanged(oldState, newState)
    if (newState == SCENE_FRAGMENT_SHOWING) then
	UpdateBaitsCountFunction()
   end
end



WORLD_MAP_SCENE:RegisterCallback("StateChange", WorldMapStateChanged)
GAMEPAD_WORLD_MAP_SCENE:RegisterCallback("StateChange", WorldMapStateChanged)

Edit : and still a super slow typer.

It's not map change, it's Scene State change . just try it. or i'll check another example with the standard scene manager.

But anyway it's time for me to call it a day, and soon circonian will be there and make us all look like unwiped kids with a one line function that does everything you always dreamt of and even more.
