introduction
to begin standing still, you must first understand the concept of standing still. standing still involves being completely immobile, with no movement whatsoever. it is important that you understand how to stand still before you attempt it in garry's mod. try standing still in real life for two hours. once you can consistently do this, you are ready to continue with this guide.
the keyboard
you might just think that simply not touching your keyboard will mean you stand still, but there are a variety of things that can counteract this. there are many ways that your keyboard can be accidentally touched, causing you to move. for example, if your ceiling collapses, parts of it may drop onto the movement keys on your keyboard, and you will no longer be standing still. in this section, i will teach you how to prevent these threats.

the first and most basic solution is to simply unplug the keyboard from your computer. it's likely connected through a usb port somewhere on your computer. find the usb port that your keyboard is connected to, and remove the connector from it. this is not enough however. to ensure your keyboard is not accidentally plugged back in, you need to get a pair of scissors or another sharp object, and use it to cut off the connector on the end of the keyboard's cable. this will ensure your keyboard cannot accidentally be plugged in. for wireless keyboards with a dongle, simply unplug the dongle, and use a hammer or other large blunt object to remove its existence.

this method tends to work quite well, but doesn't work for wireless keyboards that do not use a dongle. for these keyboards, or if you want extra security against unintended movement, there is a second method. each key on your keyboard is made up of two parts, a switch and a key cap. use a small thin object to pry out every single key from your keyboard. this step will help to prevent any accidental or unintended movement key presses. however, this still is not perfect, as the switches still remain and may be bridged internally by dust or similar particles.

to solve this problem, there is a third and final method that should entirely eliminate the issue of unintended movement with the keyboard. simply take the blunt object from the dongle section of method 1, and use it on the entire keyboard until the switches are no longer recognisable. after this, your keyboard should be unable to accidentally input any key presses.
the mouse
there is another common threat that is frequently found next to the keyboard: the mouse. if you even touch it, your head will turn, which will mean you have moved and are no longer standing entirely still. additionally, if you happen to press any of the buttons, you may even fire a weapon, and then you will definitely not be standing still. in this step, i will inform you on how to prevent any accidental movement using the mouse.

first of all, a simple method, the same as with the keyboard. unplug the cable, cut the connector off. for extra safety, you may also want to remove the usb connector from your computer's motherboard to ensure no accidental plugging-in occurs.

for extra safety, there are a couple of other methods. first of all, you may have noticed that if you place a small object underneath the primary buttons of your mouse, they aren't fully attached. simply pry them up until they are no longer attached at all, and this will help prevent accidental weapon use. but, there are still switches under those buttons. you must remove those from the mouse, and if you're careful you can do this with the same small object. simply get it under the switches, and pry upwards.

there are still two to three threats in your mouse: the scroll wheel, the laser, and the auxiliary buttons which some mice have,

it is simplest to eliminate all of these threats at once. to do this, you may use a blunt, heavy object on it, similar to the last method of the keyboard step.

once you have followed the guide up to here, your keyboard and mouse will now be entirely unable to input any accidental movements into your game. however, there may still be one threat left.
the controller
some people play garry's mod with a game console controller plugged into their computer. if you weren't aware, you may not know that this is another possible way to move in garry's mod. in this final step of the guide, you will learn how to completely remove this third threat.

first of all, the most simple method: turn off the controller support in the settings menu. it is under mouse options for some reason. this method may not work if you followed step two of this guide.

for extra security against unwanted movement, there are some more steps you can perform. for wired controllers, simply perform the same modifications to the cable as you did with the keyboard. for xbox 360 controllers, you may additionally want to detach the end of the cable and destroy it separately.

another step is to remove all components from your controller that may result in unwanted movement. most controllers are held together with screws, so just use a screwdriver to remove them. if this is not possible, either due to a lack of screws or not having the correct screwdriver, simply touch your controller against the nearest wall with extreme momentum and force. after doing this a few times, it should open right up.

once your controller is open, grab onto any components you can and simply rip them off of its circuit board. this may not be enough, however, so as a final step, hold onto both ends of the board and bend it until it is no longer intact.
conclusion
congratulations! after finishing this guide, you are now free of any threats that may have caused you to move in garry's mod. it is now possible for you to stand entirely still with no movement whatsoever. if you enjoyed this guide, please give me all of your money and possessions.
