I'm trying to script a magic effect on a timer that will abort if the container is closed before the timer runs out. I don't want to tie it to the player taking something from the container because they will be warned to not take anything. There doesn't seem to be an "OnDeactive" block.

MenuMode 1008, the http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/MenuMode_(Function) and/or http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/MenuMode, should help?

Not what I expected, but I'm still a complete noob at this. Just to be clear, if I script:

If (MenuMod 1008 == 0)

then no container is open/active because the game is in Game Mode when a container is not open; and returns 1 when in Menu Mode for a container or barter menu that is open? Or do I need a ref for the container in question?

Thanks for the reply.

Yeah, an 'If MenuMode 1008' condition will not return true unless you're in a container menu, nor will code in a MenuMode 1008 block run. If you want to exclude vendors, you might want OBSE's http://cs.elderscrolls.com/index.php/IsBarterMenuActive. If you post the script, I or another here ought to be able to help. There are bound to be several ways to accomplish what you're after
