Custom text for countdown to set time

I have a countdown timer that counts down to 11:00 AM. The problem is that I don't see any default ability to have a custom text for when it reaches 11. It just shows zeros.
I've seen some scripts that change the colors of timers as they near the end (but not count down to specific time). but not seen one yet that will hide the 00 and display a different text. I know enough to customize an existing script a bit. but not make something new that I don't have an example to follow.
Can someone help me figure this out.

Can someone help me figure this out. Use a trigger "OnCountdownCompleted" with command "SetText" and set the 'Time.txt' to the text you want to display.

Can someone help me figure this out. From the description i asume your are using a countdown to time (clocks) . In that the case a OnCountdownCompleted will not work (respond) Can be solved using a script checking the API XML to check what is displayed in the title and do the setText option when 00:00:00 like Raugert Explained Timers <> Clocks

Yes I was using the countdown to time clock feature, but figured it wasn't going to work out and I needed to move to a script.
That link you shared looks to have what I want. thanks.
