Necessary for the preferred implementation of a mod I'll be working on when NVSE is released.

Yes. That's how FOOK's QA containers work, by summoning a CONT, activating it, then a Disable/MarkForDelete.

One sec and I'll copypasta an example.

That's attached to a token, but the code works for quests too minus the OnAdd bit.

I'll be playing around with it in the G.E.C.K. but real quick can you clarify that it works from the pip-boy menu? Just glancing at it, it seems like it's operating/opening from a message box that I guess you open in turn via an item from the pip-boy. If that's the case then I guess I wasn't clear on my question, I want to be able to open a container straight from the pip-boy, like say from clicking on a Stimpack or something (not actually clicking on a Stimpack but you get the idea).

Oh, I thought you meant from within an options menu. Still, some of that should an effect script to do the same thing. Would this item open the same container every time, like for storage? If so, you could skip the rContainer and activate a placed, persistent container from anywhere.

Begin ScriptEffectStart	Player.AddItem ContainerAccessALCH 1 1	YourContainerREF.Activate PlayerEnd

I've never set up a menu to work from ~~within the pipboy~~ with an ingestible. Since it'll be an NVSE mod, you could activate it with a hotkey too...

You should be able to do this by doing an OnEquip block (if it's apparel) - something like this:

Begin OnEquip Player	YourContainerREF.Activate Player	Player.UnequipItem ThisItemBaseIDEnd

Yea I intend to have a persistent container, and IIRC I tried to use ScriptEffectStart scripts and an Ingestible and it didn't work, though I'll give it another shot when I have time. But between both of yall I've realized another way that should for sure work and might be less of a hassle for the user in the end, with hotkeys and such, so thanks for the advice.
