Navigate to garrysmod/lua/autorun/server in the File Manager. Create a new file in the server folder called resource.lua This is where you will choose which addons you want players to download automatically on connect.
Step 3: Add The Workshop IDs for the Addons You Want Players to Download on Connect
Now we will be grabbing the Workshop IDs of all the addons you want to add. On the Workshop Collections page, right click anywhere and select "Copy Page URL"
Go to YourDevTools and paste your Workshop ID into the text box.
Example: When doing this step, https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2901076879 becomes 2901076879. 2901076879 is the workshop ID in this example.
Generate your code, copy the code, then paste the code into the resources.lua file that was created in Step 2.
