How to change the rope limit in GMod

Type sbox_maxropeconstraints 200 in the server console to cap each player's ropes, elastics, winches, hydraulics and sliders at 200; -1 removes it.

sbox_maxropeconstraints

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

sbox_maxropeconstraints <count>

Examples

sbox_maxropeconstraints 200

Lower rope cap.

sbox_maxropeconstraints -1

No limit. Only sensible on small private servers.

Arguments

countRequired
Maximum rope constraints per player.

What it does

Caps how many rope constraints 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 rope-based constraints such as ropes, elastics, winches, pulleys, hydraulics, muscles and sliders.

The game's own description: Maximum rope-based constraints 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.
