How to change the button limit in GMod
Type sbox_maxbuttons 20 in the server console to cap each player at 20 buttons from the Button tool; -1 means no limit.
sbox_maxbuttons
Sets the maximum number of buttons each player can have spawned at once on a Sandbox server.
sbox_maxbuttons <count> Examples
sbox_maxbuttons 20 Lower button cap.
sbox_maxbuttons -1 No limit. Only sensible on small private servers.
Arguments
countRequired- Maximum buttons per player.
What it does
Caps how many buttons a single player can own at the same time. When a player reaches the cap, Sandbox shows a limit message and refuses to spawn more until they remove some. Counts buttons placed with the Button tool, which trigger other contraption parts through numpad keys.
The game's own description: Maximum buttons a single player can create
Good to know
- A negative value such as -1 removes the limit, and 0 blocks spawning entirely.
- Limits are not applied in single player.
- The limit counts per player, so the server total can be this value times the player count.
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.
