How to slow down physics in GMod
Type phys_timescale 0.3 in the server console for slow motion props and ragdolls while players move normally; 1 is normal. No cheats needed.
phys_timescale
Scales the speed of the physics simulation, so 0.5 runs physics in slow motion and 1 is normal.
phys_timescale <scale> Examples
phys_timescale 0.3 Slow motion physics for screenshots or videos.
phys_timescale 1 Back to normal.
Arguments
scaleRequired- Physics speed multiplier, 1 is normal.
What it does
Multiplies how fast physics objects move and react. Lower values give a slow motion effect for props and ragdolls while players keep moving at normal speed. Values above 1 speed physics up but make contraptions less stable.

Good to know
- Player movement is not slowed. Use
host_timescalewithsv_cheats 1to slow everything.
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.
