multiple items per slide in bootstrap carousel

Here's a way to iterate through multiple items in one slide in bootstrap 3.3.x

But tbh, you're better off using something like Owl Carousel...

script.js

// Instantiate the Bootstrap carousel
$('.multi-item-carousel').carousel({
  interval: false
});

// for every slide in carousel, copy the next slide's item in the slide.
// Do the same for the next, next item.
$('.multi-item-carousel .item').each(function(){
  var next = $(this).next();
  if (!next.length) {
    next = $(this).siblings(':first');
  }
  next.children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  
  if (next.next().length>0) {
    next.next().children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  } else {
  	$(this).siblings(':first').children(':first-child').clone().appendTo($(this));
  }
});

Thank you for this script. It displays 3 items and slides with 1. But how to edit the code to display 4 items? Just changing col-xs-4 to col-xs-3 didn't work.
