Lua Amount of items on the ground?

[Mitsuri]

I wonder, how to count items on the ground?

My distro is CD 0.3.5 (v8.5).

(I can use newest functions)

Taken from closingdoor.lua

...
	local tmpPos = {x = position.x, y = position.y, z = position.z, stackpos = -1}
	local tileCount = getTileThingByPos(tmpPos)

	local i = 1
	local tmpItem = {uid = 1}
	while(tmpItem.uid ~= 0 and i < tileCount) do
		tmpPos.stackpos = i
		tmpItem = getTileThingByPos(tmpPos)
		if(tmpItem.uid ~= item.uid and tmpItem.uid ~= 0 and isMoveable(tmpItem.uid)) then
			doRemoveItem(tmpItem.uid)
		else
			i = i + 1
		end
	end
...

You can use this as a base, and modify it of course to suit your needs.

Thanks for reply, however I need to count items on the floor/table* within talkactions, so this is not proper solutio

* - i.e 5 crystal coins lie on the table. I need to know through script, how many crystal coins are on this table.
