I would like some help with detecting if the script is running. I have currently got

if (started() == true)
{

}

but that says ''void' type not allowed here.' and if I say

if (started == true)
{

}

It says 'cannot find symbol - variable started' Please help and thanks in advance.

What script do you mean? If you want to detect if the scenario is running (=not paused), you don't need a condition at all because it is only executed when the scenario is running.

I am using SimpleTimer and I would like to reset the timer, not when the world is created, but when the world is running (and also only update when the world is running).

You can't do that with the SimpleTimer class. The SimpleTimer class uses real time, so if you pause the scenario, the timer is still 'running'. I think it would be better to count act cycles. Example:

private int timer = 0;

public void act()
{
    timer++;
    if (timer == 100)
    {
        //do something
        timer = 0;
    }
}

OK. Thanks for the help.
