How to change Physics Gun range in GMod

Type physgun_maxrange 1024 in the server console so the Physics Gun beam reaches only 1024 units, stopping cross-map prop grabs. The default is 4096.

physgun_maxrange

Sets how far away, in units, the Physics Gun can grab objects.

physgun_maxrange <units>

Examples

physgun_maxrange 1024

Short range to cut down on prop flinging.

Arguments

unitsRequired
Maximum grab distance in Hammer units.

What it does

Limits the reach of the Physics Gun beam. Lower it so players cannot grab and fling props from across the map.

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.
