Forcing people to download workshop addons


Steps to force players to download workshop addons.
Step 1: Log into your Controlpanel .
Step 2: View your game service.
Step 3: Open the File Manager.
Step 4: Navigate to the garrysmod > lua > autorun folder.
Step 5: If it does not already exist, create a folder in this directory named 'forceaddon'. Go into this directory.
Step 6: Create a new file named workshop.lua. Ensure this file is located in 'garrysmod/lua/autorun/server'. ( Make sure this is lowercase! )
Step 7: Open the file in the text editor (click the pencil icon next to the file).
Step 8: For every addon that you want the client to download, place the following: resource.AddWorkshop(workshopidhere). Replace 'workshopidhere' with the addon's workshop ID. This can be found at the end of the URL (numeric value).

Let's take a look at an example. We have the following 3 addons, all M9K weapon packs:
So, we have 3 IDs we will be working with; 128089118, 128093075 and 128091208. 

We will want the contents of the workshop.lua file to look like this:
resource.AddWorkshop(128089118)
resource.AddWorkshop(128093075)
resource.AddWorkshop(128091208)
