How to Automatically have Players Download Workshop Addons

When you have added add-ons to your server, you also want to have those automatically downloaded to the players joining. This can be done by providing the IDs of the addons.

HOW TO ADD ADDON IDS TO YOUR SERVER

  1. Login to your control panel.
  2. Click on the Files > FTP File Access tab on the left.
  3. Navigate to garrysmod/lua/autorun/server/.
  4. Edit the file workshop.lua or create it if it doesn't exist.
  5. In this file you want to add the IDs of the addons you want the clients to download in the following format: resource.AddWorkshop("123456789").
  6. Save the file and restart your server for changes to apply.
