Put a script on the timers propertyChange function

```auto
if event.propertyName=='running' and not event.source.running:
	event.source.value=0

```

The original question was missing any detail that would help provide an answer. You'll need to explain what you are trying to achieve, how, what you expect and what you got.

Have you applied the script as shown to the `propertyChange` event of the timer in question? Are you receiving an error in the designer/client logs? How are you starting and stopping the timer? Is anything else bound to / overwriting the timer's `value` property?

Yes, I have put the info in the property change of the timer. I guess I am looking to see if there is a tutorial on how to start up from scratch.

As a sanity check, are you running in preview mode? Scripts won't run unless you're in preview.
