Dota 2 status command

Console Commands

Console Commands are options accessible via the Developer Console. The dev console allows the user to create an advanced configuration of game settings, using options not listed within the game’s settings menu.

Commands that are listed as cheats will not work within the normal game. Cheat commands will only work in custom lobbies with cheats enabled. For a list of cheats, see here.

How to use Console Commands [ edit ]

Commands may be typed directly in the developer console to activate the setting, however it is recommended to create an autoexec. cfg file. The file will automatically run the listed commands when a match starts so they will not have to be manually typed every time.

Steps to create an autoexec. cfg file:

1. Create a text editable file using Notepad or similar software
2. Type in the desired commands per line, including the desired values for variables
3. Save as autoexec. cfg and make sure it is. cfg and not a. Dota 2 status command txt file or any other file extension
4. Place the file in the \cfg folder found in your install directory, usually C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\game\dota\cfg

Proper Syntax [ edit ]

When writing a console command, it will normally consist of “blocks” separated by spaces.

Here is an example of a command with each block highlighted for visibility. Block 1 = blue , block 2 = red , and block 3 = green .

bind q “dota_ability_execute 0”

Any command with a third block must encase that block within quotation marks. Placing quotation marks around other blocks may cause errors in which the command will not work.
Code containing only two blocks does not require any quotations.

For an advanced command using incrementvar the proper syntax is as follows:

bind c “incrementvar dota_player_units_auto_attack_mode 1 2 1”

The three numbers are min, max, and delta. Dota 2 status command In the example 1 2 1 the minimum value is 1, the maximum is 2, and the increment is 1. This effectively acts as a toggle, increasing the value by 1 to switch between 1 and 2.
If the values were 0 2 1 instead, it would toggle between three states with each press. Starting at 0, then increasing to 1, then 2, and then looping back to 0.
If the delta was set to 2 instead, 0 2 2 , it would switch from 0 to 2 with each press because the delta would increase 0 by 2 to equal 2.

Adding // in front of a line of code will make the autoexec. cfg ignore that line for input. This allows you to write notes without causing errors.

// Auto attack toggle bind c “incrementvar dota_player_units_auto_attack_mode 1 2 1”
