How to crash a garry's mod server with winch?

[GokusDog]

A few weeks back I found a thread that told you how to crash a server with winch, well sadly I think the thread got deleted and I didn't save the content of it but you had to make the text a special character and a certain length and when you pressed the buttons it would crash the server. If anyone could find it I would appreciate it

Winch, as in the in-game tool? There is a way. Not sure of it exactly but I've accidentally done it.

It was with hydraulics or anything that could move and you set the text or prefix as a speical character and then you set it a certain length and it crashed

Garry patched the rope exploit, but you can still crash servers with pulley,sliders and i think hydraulics.you do <tool_material 卐">, the width i think has to be set to 20.0 or something, you dont have to change the width i think.

Do you put tool material in console? or in the preset thing

You put the command into the console.
