I'm trying to determine the unit count within my map to prevent CCMU. However there's about 300 units that I cannot detect with the bring or command condition. I assume these would be units like map revealers and doodads. Is there any way to determine the amount of units within the map without having to manually count the undetectable units within the editor? If so is there a list of all the undetectable units.
None.

Did you notice the status bar counting the units in ScmDraft 2? 652 units in this screenshot and it counted everything you can see in the screenshot, except the terrain doodads.
It counted map revealers and floor gun doodads. As far as I can tell it counts everything that adds to the unit limit. But you might wanna test that out with the specific unit doodads you're using.
Also keep in mind, that max unit limit is not the only limit you should be concerned about. There's also a sprite limit at 2k or 3k, which you'll likely only reach with extensive sprite doodads, and more importantly the weapon sprite limit - only 100 units can be shooting the same time.
I know about the bar but I need to count the units in-game. Many units are created and removed so counting through the editor isn't ideal unless if I know which units cannot be detected so I can add that on to the detectable units in-game. I'm not very worried about sprite or weapon limit right now as I've kept those limits under control.

There might be 3rd party programs that do that.

That sounds like it can be found out with a bit of testing since we already know a couple of candidates that are counted (regular units, traps) and a couple that aren't (map revealers, signals). So you only have to test a couple (unit doodads, powerups)
Are preplace only units detectable? I seem to recall aldaris and company were not detectable by bring.

Is the command condition also limited in this sense? If so how do you detect unplaceable units in the first place (without modding their unit flags)?
You could use a loop of creating a unit and removing it at a particular location. If the time where the unit did not exist was too long because it could not be created because of ccmu you would then be able to execute any other trigger you would want based on that outcome. I'm sure you could use death counters or something to keep track of how long the unit was absent.

It doesn't count tank and goliath turrets. If you placed a tank or goliath, they should count as 2 units.

Thanks I was wondering why there were 300 units unaccounted for.
None.
