How to change the effects limit in GMod

Type sbox_maxeffects 50 in the server console to cap each player at 50 effect props from the spawn menu; -1 means no limit. The default is 200.

sbox_maxeffects

Sets the maximum number of effect props each player can have spawned at once on a Sandbox server.

sbox_maxeffects <count>

Examples

sbox_maxeffects 50

Lower effect cap.

sbox_maxeffects -1

No limit. Only sensible on small private servers.

Arguments

countRequired
Maximum effect props per player.

What it does

Caps how many effect props 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 effect props spawned from the spawn menu's effects list.

The game's own description: Maximum effect props 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.
