Item count for stack on the ground?

[sestorme]

How can I get the item count if it's on the ground? getPlayerItemCount of course won't work.

There is no way?

local pos = {x = x, y = y, z = z, stackpos = 255} -- stackpos = 255- top thing (movable item or creature),  stackpos = 254- magic field  stackpos = 253- top creature
local thing = getThingFromPos(pos)
local count

if thing > 0 then ---make sure it found something
    count = thing.type
end
