I never needed to add time to the world besides sleep..But from wut i could play around with i got this which i figured wouldnt work
world/New()
sleep(400)
usr.money += 50
I need so if the usr is on for so many minuets he gets money

easy, make a proc

proc
  GainMoney()
    sleep(400)
      usr.money += 100
      spawn()
        GainMoney()

mob/Login()
  GainMoney()

I made that right off the bat, so u might want some changes, but that should work.

you could also make it change per time. for example, make a variable, moneytime, and everytime in the proc above, before the spawn() do usr.moneytime += 100 or something, and instead of the sleep(400) do a sleep(usr.moneytime)

You dont need to tab after a sleep.This should work, Just call the AddMoney() proc in your Login() code.
mob
    proc // makes a proc
        AddMoney() // Names the proc AddMoney
            while(1) // Keeps the proc repeating until the 1 isnt a 1 which will be never
                sleep(400) // waits 400 ticks
                money += 50 // Adds 50 to the money var

A tick is 1/10th of a second. Also, it's probably a better idea to use one world proc than have a billion mob procs running at once.
proc
 GimmeMoney()
  for(var/client/C in world) C.mob.moola += 50
  spawn(600) GimmeMoney()

world
 New()
  ..()
  GimmeMoney()

Actually, I've found in my experience, a few client procs running at different intervals than one large proc looping through the entire pbase once every few minutes is more efficient.

It's not more effecient since you have the overhead of more proc calls. The only reason it seems that it's more effecient is that all the calls aren't synced up so there isn't a large processor hit all at once. This can be avoided by making the large proc a background one or even better yet use some sleep() statements to break up sections that don't all need to be run at once.

I really hope you never perform surgery on me.

You're looping through every client in the world. A client is a player. Then you give them the variable C. Then you acces C.mob, which is the mob the client is connected to, and then C.mob.money, which is their mob's money.
