How to change the prop limit in GMod
Type sbox_maxprops 100 in the server console so each player can have 100 props at once; -1 removes the limit. The default is 200.
sbox_maxprops
Sets the maximum number of props each player can have spawned at once on a Sandbox server.
sbox_maxprops <count> Examples
sbox_maxprops 100 Halve the default for a busy public server.
sbox_maxprops -1 No limit. Only sensible on small private servers.
Arguments
countRequired- Maximum props per player.
What it does
Caps how many 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. Props are the biggest driver of server load and lag on Sandbox, so this is the first limit to lower on a crowded server.
The game's own description: Maximum 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.
