Does anyone know how to set up a little counter in the corner of the map for tracking things like in the first tutorial level of StarCraft where they counted how much Vespene Gas you accumulated?

Leader Bord Greed shows you the amount of minerals and gas you have and shows the other peoples too.

Right here in basic help.

Hmm, close, but I want it formatted like "X/Y".

Well, just do the Leader Board Greed and put text after it. Like "/100" or whatever you want.

For Greed you can only put a "goal" for how many minerals and/or gas you are suposed to get.

Ok, now im going to explain how to do it from what i "THINK" your asking.
Now first what you want to do is set up a CUSTOM leaderboard. Then, just for looks, disable computer in leaderboard.
Now, when the player accomplishes what you want, under actions put Add 1 custom. This way you can make him be able to do anything to accumulate the X/Y instead of using one of the starcraft presets such as Kills, Greed, Etc.
I hope this is what you meant, see'ing as its my first actual post on SEN, i dont want to start with a rep for being stupid

There is no leaderboard that will show two variable numbers except for leaderboard (greed), and that will show only minerals and gas. You can't make it show anything else. You cannot make a leaderboard goal for greed.
However, I don't think you want two variable numbers. The second number is probably the amount that you have to collect, or something to that effect. That means that you can simply put it as part of the label for your leaderboard. (That's what knockdownshawn suggested).
Leaderboard (resources) will show for each player either minerals, or gas, or minerals + gas, as you choose. The person with the highest number of resources is at the top of the Leaderboard.
Leaderboard goal (resources) will show how many "resources to go" there are for each player until they reach the "goal" amount. Again, this can be made for either minerals, gas, or minerals + gas. The person with the highest number of resources, and therefore the person closest to the goal, is at the top of the leaderboard.
Leaderboard (resources) seems like the best thing to use in your situation, with a label such as "of 2000 minerals collected" so that the player will see: "100 of 2000 minerals collected", or something like that.
Making a custom score for this would be kinda silly.
additional note:
Any time "ore and gas" is an option for a trigger setting, it means "the amount of minerals you have plus the amount of gas you have".
