function getNearbyItems(pos)

Hi,

Probably there are some others functions like this already made, but I have made this one and I want to share with you, guys.
This functions, as the name says, gets and returns in a table itemids from a square around a predetermined position. It may be useful in some way for someone.
You may use it associated to isInArray, as it returns a table.

function getNearbyItems(posa)
local items = {}
local posx = {
	{-1, 0, 1},
	{-1, 0, 1},
	{-1, 0, 1}
}
local posy = {
	{-1, -1, -1},
	{0, 0, 0},
	{1, 1, 1}
}
for i = 1, #posx do
for c = 1, #posy do
	local item = getThingFromPos({x = posa.x+posx[i][c], y = posa.y+posy[i][c], z = posa.z, stackpos = 255}).itemid
	table.insert(items, item)
end
end
	return items
end

Created by me. (also called Deragon)

You can make an script about something like: If getNearbyItems on square (frompos, topos) the items dissapear after drop it on ground (on the square area) ?

I mean: If you drop any item on area (frompos topos) the item is removing after 1 second or something like that
