Type ai_disabled 1 in the server console and every NPC stands still without thinking or attacking; ai_disabled 0 brings them back.

1 disables NPC AI.

What it does

Freezes NPC behavior for everyone, which is useful for posing NPCs or building scenes in Sandbox. NPCs resume when it is set back to 0. The NPC options in the spawn menu's Utilities tab toggle the same setting.

Run it on your server

On a SLASHPLAY server, type it in the Console tab of the server page; the reply shows right under it. A value set there lasts until the server restarts. To keep it, add the line to garrysmod/cfg/server.cfg. New to this? Start a GMod server first.
