The only way to get this trigger to 'semi' work right, is to have a scroll as the first item in the bag... no good to me. What am I doing wrong?

This is an issue with not properly surrounding your variables with quotes. ZMud functions separate parameters by commas, so your %pos() function after the %1 early expansion goes into effect looks like this:

%pos(scroll, a grey skinning knife, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an Immortal Botolf card, a small clear topaz, a Famous Faces Ragge card, a sturdy ironwood caddy, an inscribed Coyote scroll, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an inscribed Raven scroll, an inscribed Magpie scroll, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an inscribed snakeskin scroll, an inscribed Wolverine scroll, an inscribed Wolf scroll and an inscribed Ram scroll)

Functions and commands will take what is needed and ignore the rest, so really what your %pos() function ends up being is this:

%pos(scroll, a grey skinning knife)

Obviously, that will return a 0.

What you need to do is surround %1 in quotes, like so:

%pos(scroll, "%1")

This tells ZMud that everything between the quotes is considered as one parameter, and will be correctly passed to the function or command.

Perfect thanks, I knew it was me... I was trying the quotes in the wrong place... Everywhere but around the %1
