Ok. So Lets Say We Have This List:

1.Sword
2.Shield
3.Potion
4.Bow
5.Quiver

First check if the potion's there:

<[items v] contains [Potion]>

Use

Delete [4 v] of [Items v]

The list will then be

1.Sword
2.Shield
3.Bow
4.Quiver

Removing the potion shifts the rest up 1

I knew that, but thanks anyway for replying this soon. What I want to know is how to make the game find out where the potion is in the list, in order to then use that process to delete it.

Sorry. Try this:

set [itemtofind v] to [Potion]
set [count v] to [1]
Repeat (length of [items v])
if <(item (count) of [items v]) = (itemtofind)>
set [itemposition v] to (count)
end
change [count v] by (1)

the position of Potion will be set to Itemposition

if the list is REALLY long (probably not though, like 50 items  ) Try this:

set [itemtofind v] to [Potion]
set [count v] to [1]
set[length v] to (length of [items v])
set [end v] to (0)
repeat until <<(count) = (length)> or <(end) = (1)>>
if <(item (count) of [items v]) =(itemtofind)>
set [itemposition v] to (count)
end
change [count v] by (1)
set [end v] to (1)

Thanks, very helpful! This is really going to come in handy A LOT.

Yes, Your welcome. it can be used to search anything, and can also be used to do things to every item of the list individually. it also can be used for other things too, its a useful skill to learn.
