host_timescale <scale>

Half speed.

scaleRequired
Game speed multiplier, 1 is normal.

On SLASHPLAY

On SLASHPLAY the console accepts values from 0.05 to 10; outside that the server would stop answering or stall.

What it does

Values below 1 give slow motion for everything, values above 1 fast forward. For slow motion physics only, use phys_timescale, which needs no cheats.

The game's own description: Prescale the clock by this amount.

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.
