The client timer settings for enable are accessible at design time but can I change it via script?

Unfortunately, there’s no way to directly access the script in the way you can in the Designer - but a fairly simple workaround would be to read a memory tag before performing any of the logic of the script, and use that memory tag as your ‘running’ indicator.
