Solved Count items on specific tile

I know how to find if an item is on a tile, but how can I count how many of an item are on a tile, no matter how many and/or what stackpos they are in?

I've used a couple things in the past, but they are very specific in their requirements.. such as

Code:

getTileItemById(beetroot_pos, beetroot_id).type

This will find items on the position, and count them, but only if the item is stackable.
If I add .uid to the end, it will find non-stackable items.
And of course if there is non-stackable and stackable items together, then it usually will just error instead of doing anything.
And this function doesn't give the count back to me, it only allows you to check if the specified amount is ==/</>

Does anyone have a custom function they created to count how many of an item is on a tile?

Thanks for viewing my topic.

Cheers.

I've come up with a solution in case anyone wants to use it in the future.

Code:

local function getItemCountOnPosition(item, pos)
    local item_pos = {x = pos.x, y = pos.y, z = pos.z}
    local item_count = 0
    for i = 1, 255 do
        local check_pos = {x = item_pos.x, y = item_pos.y, z = item_pos.z, stackpos = i}
        if getThingFromPos(check_pos).itemid <= 0 then
            break
        elseif getThingFromPos(check_pos).itemid == item then
            if isItemStackable(getThingFromPos(check_pos).itemid) == true then
                item_count = item_count + getThingFromPos(check_pos).type
            else
                item_count = item_count + 1
            end
        end
    end  
    return item_count
end

Code:

local item_id = 2544
local item_pos = {x = 1397, y = 1422, z = 7}
 
if getItemCountOnPosition(item_id, item_pos) >= 5 then
    print(">= 5 or more items on position!")
else
    print("< 5 items on position.")
end

@Limos I promise I'm learning, albeit slowly.
