Ping minimap for items problem.

Hello, it's been a long time since I played with Warcraft 3 WE, now I wanted to refresh it and I'm creating a light custom campaign for FT, but I have small problem with trigger wich pings
minimap for placed items on map.

Let's start with detailed explanation.

I placed on map 5 books of inteligence +2 wich are objects to bonus quest to find them.
I created trigger wich pings minimap where they placed. Basicly trigger works quite perfectly, but when Hero picks book and trigger starts again (time cycled trigger) minimap pings in point where book was picked and there is no item.

Take a look at trigger:

Trigger:

Events

Time - Every 80 seconds of game

Conditions

BonusQuest is enabled equals true

Actions

Set ItemPositions = (playable map area)

Item - Pick Every Item in ItemPositions and do (Actions)

loop

if (Item-Type of (picked item)) equals to Book Of Inteligence +2

then

Cinematic - Ping Minimap for (HumPlayer) at (ItemPositions) for 3.00 seconds using (simple) ping of color (59%, 80%, 80%)

custom script: call RemoveLocation(udg_ItemPositions)

else

Do Nothing

Sorry about indents, I didn't figured out how to use it properly.

When the hero uses/acquires the item, make sure you explicitly destroy it -- can't remember off the top of my head, but there should be a Remove Item trigger.

Yes! There is such trigger to remove item from game, but it didn't work, map still pings at its position, but you gave me an idea to solve my problem.
I changed condition when picking items and I added to check item's life percentage and when I pick item, I set it life to 0% and in condition I added condition when pinging (greater than 1%)

Now trigger looks like this:
