Lua TFS(0.4) - How to track item count?

[Lava Titan]

Hello, I'm working on this small script to avoid players throwing junk or lose thrown items by mistake in some places but I'm having an issue in how to track the amount of items thrown..
I'm not sure if there's another way to do this but this is what I came up with xd

Example: If some1 throws 69 coins into the tile, I have to return 69 coins back.

At this moment all the coins are removed but I can't figure out how to return the amount thrown

function onAddItem(moveitem, tileitem, position, cid)
        doPlayerAddItem(cid, getItemIdByName(getItemName(moveitem.uid)), 1, true)
        doRemoveItem(moveitem.uid)
        doSendMagicEffect(getCreaturePosition(cid), CONST_ME_POFF)
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You can't throw items there.")
    return true
end

moveitem.type

at least I'm 90 percent sure.

I just figured out if someone drops a container with items inside the items will be gone, I totally forgot this part xD, does anyone have any idea how can I fix this?

You could teleport the container/items under cid?

Just add to sources "onThrow" function from higher version. Copy and paste to yours. It will be easier to work on.

That's a good idea xD but what other function is there to teleport stuff than "doTeleportThing" ? cuz like this it's not working

function onAddItem(moveitem, tileitem, position, cid)
        doTeleportThing(cid, getCreaturePosition(cid))
        doSendMagicEffect(position, CONST_ME_TELEPORT)
        doPlayerSendCancel(cid, "You can't throw items there.")
    return true
end

I'd do it but I'm kinda afraid of messing stuff in sources since I don't have much experience yet

if you want the item to not be thrown, use return false

I did try that but item gets thrown anyway xd
