Copy item/container

[Gesior.pl]

This function work only if you add in LUA (in engine - C++) new function getCharges():

int32_t LuaScriptInterface::luaGetCharges(lua_State* L)
{
	//getCharges(uid)
	uint32_t uid = popNumber(L);
	ScriptEnviroment* env = getScriptEnv();

	Item* item = env->getItemByUID(uid);
	if(item)
	{
		lua_pushnumber(L, item->getSubType());
	}
	else
		lua_pushnumber(L, -1);

	return 1;
}

LUA script:

function copyItem(item)
	if (isContainer(item.uid) == TRUE) then
		return copyContainer(item.uid, item.itemid)
	else
		return doCreateItemEx(item.itemid, getCharges(item.uid))
	end
end

function copyContainer(uid, itemid)
	local container = doCreateItemEx(itemid, 1)
	local iterator = getContainerSize(uid)
	while iterator >= 0  do
		doAddContainerItemEx(container, copyItem(getContainerItem(uid, iterator)))
		iterator = iterator - 1
	end
	return container
end

If you want copy container use copyItem(item),where item = container, not copyContainer!
I use it to drop copy of EQ when player die:

function dropLoot(cid, container)
	i = CONST_SLOT_AMMO
	while i >= CONST_SLOT_HEAD do
		local slot_item = getPlayerSlotItem(cid, i)
		if (slot_item.itemid ~= 0) then
			if (isContainer(slot_item.uid) == TRUE) then
				doAddContainerItemEx(container, copyItem(slot_item))
			elseif (math.random(1, 100) <= 40) then
				doAddContainerItemEx(container, copyItem(slot_item))
			end
		end
		i = i - 1
	end
end

container = corpse from onDEath

Nice nice But, why new function? Use getThing(uid).type instead.

			iterator = iterator - 1
		end
		return container
	end
	return doCreateItemEx(item.itemid, getThing(item.uid).type)
end
