Hey there, I have a basic script, when run it just runs:ãã// Begin programãload("sbbsdefs.js");ãconsole.writeln(bbs.get_time_left());ãconsole.writeln(user.get_time_left());ãuser.adjust_minutes(-5)ãconsole.writeln(bbs.get_time_left());ãconsole.writeln(user.get_time_left());ãuser.adjust_minutes(5)ãconsole.writeln(bbs.get_time_left());ãconsole.writeln(user.get_time_left());ãuser.adjust_minutes(-5)ãconsole.writeln(bbs.get_time_left());ãconsole.writeln(user.get_time_left());ãuser.adjust_minutes(-5)ãconsole.writeln(bbs.get_time_left());ãconsole.writeln(user.get_time_left());ã//End ProgramããThe time is not adjusted by a negative 5 minutes the first time.

You need to understand that you cannotãsubtract from the number of minutes that the user is given based on theirãsecurity level using this function. What this function/method does is add orãsubtract from the user's "time bank", which normally has 0 minutes in. And youãcannot go less than 0. This time bank is automatically added to their availableãtime online.ããWhat you probably want to do instead is adjust the bbs.start_time property (inãseconds). The user's time online is based on their time per day, time per call,ãminutes (time bank), the current time, and this start time value.

Thanks!ãã"Time bank" was never the official term (for Synchronet) - I used "minutes".ãThey're like credits. You can buy "minutes" (with credits), for example. I knowãit's confusing and I'll see about using the term "time bank" more to clarifyãthe usage of user "minutes".ãã > > What you probably want to do instead is adjust the bbs.start_timeã > > property (in seconds).
