The Q menu
Spawning props, weapons, tools and vehicles: the Q key.
Open the spawn menu
Hold Q. The game visually pauses: categories on the left, a preview in the middle. Release Q to close it.
On Elipcee some entities are filtered (no map bombs, no cheat NPCs). The rest of Sandbox is there: props, tools, allowed vehicles.
Useful tabs
- Props
- Crates, boards, furniture, palettes. This is what you build with.
- Weapons
- Base GMod weapons. Server ARC9 guns also come from the loadout (C menu).
- Entities
- Special objects (balloons, hatches, sometimes vehicles).
- NPCs
- Often limited or blocked: real PvE fights are in Elipcee zones.
- Vehicles
- Cars / Glide if the server allows them.
- Tools
- Tool Gun tools: weld, rope, no-collide, camera…
Placing a prop
Click a model. It appears in front of you, often already frozen. With the physgun (purple weapon) you move it. Right-click freezes, left-click holds.
Too many props and the server or your personal limit can block you. Undo (Z) removes the last one, and Q menu cleanup wipes your props.
