Lua TFS 1.2 - Counting amounts of certain itens in BP

[Sergio Rosendo]

I'm trying to count how many of a certain item the player has in his backpack.

For that I'm using player:getSlotItem(CONST_SLOT_BACKPACK):getItemCountById(item).
The problem is that this function only checks the slots in the bp that it was asked to do so. It dosent check the other containers inside that bp.

Also I couldn't find out what the optional argument subtype = -1 stands for in getItemCountById(itemId[, subtype = -1]). Maybe it would allow the function to also check the other containers inside the bp?

Does anyone know how can I solve this problem? How can I make it do a deep search for total item count?

I guess I can use player:getItemCount and them just check if has one of that item equipped and them lower count by 1. But that would require 9 checks.

To what you need certain item count?

function Container:getItemCountById2(itemid, deepSearch)
    local ret = 0
    local size = self:getSize()
    for i = 0, size-1 do
        local item = self:getItem(i)
        if item then
            if item:isContainer() and deepSearch then
                ret = ret + item:getItemCountById2(itemid, deepSearch)
            end
            if item:getId() == itemid then
                ret = ret + 1
            end
        end
    end
    return ret
end

    return ret

Thanks!

If I may ask, is there a way to check for all items with a certain UID too? I need that
