List of Useful console Commands
| Command | Notes | Default Value |
|---|---|---|
| dota_minimap_hero_size 700 | will make the size of the hero dot on the minimap as big as you want. | 600 |
| dota_disable_range_finder 0 | by default you only see the range of spells when you hover your mouse on the spell icon. With this set to 0 it will show you the range when you actually click to use the spell on someone. | 1 |
| dota_always_show_player_names | 0 will disable, 1 will enable player name on top of health bars. | 0 |
| dota_hud_healthbars | 1 will make your health smoother without the lines you see on health bars (the blocks in the health that divides at 250 healthpoints per block). 3 will enable it back on and 0 will make all health bars disappear, the others do nothing apparently. | 3 |
| dota_unit_use_player_color | As the command suggests, it groups the player either individually or by the unified color by team. 1 will enable individual colors, 0 uses the team color. | 1 |
| dota_player_units_auto_attack | This is in the settings, but I find it too darn useful. If set to 0 you will stop auto-attacking and only attacks if you click to attack, whereas 1 will auto-attack at all possible times. | 1 |
| dota_health_per_vertical_marker 200 | This will determine how much health you wish to divide the vertical lines by. In the demonstration value it will draw a line each 200 health, but you can choose your own value. | 250 |
| tv_nochat 1 | 1 to disable spectator chat, 0 to enable spectator chat. | 0 |
