Console Commands

Some other things

Another command is net_graph "1" which gives ping and fps
net_graphinsetbottom "X"
net_graphinsetright X"
net_graphproportionalfont "0" makes it smaller
This set up commands above can be done with in-game console

To display a ring around the hero
"+range" "dota_range_display 1025"
bind "X" "+range"
X is whatever key you want to bind it to.

I don't know how you can do key bindings i.e meepo clones poofing with a click or invoker invoking a spell with a click. If anyone knows about this, please post it in comments.

Hope I helped! and if there are any formatting things, feel free to suggest.

To access, go to the steam library and right click dota 2. Now click the propeties and in the pop out, click launch options. It in the middle to the left side.

Here is the list of all the commands, http://www.dota2wiki.com/wiki/Console_Command_List

Starting off

Since Dota 2 is built with the source engine (by valve), we can toggle the settings of the game.

Opening Up the Console

The first thing needed is to create a .txt file which can be made by opening up the notepad. Then place it in
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota\cfg\.
This .txt file will be used to create the commands for the console. Once you input the commands, delete your old .cfg file and change the .txt file to a .cfg To do that, you have to right click the start button (im on vista) and then click explore. In the upper left hand corner, there is an option that says organize. Left-click it and then in the middle of the tab there is one that says Folder and search options. In the pop-up go to the view tab and uncheck the one that says "hide extensions for known file types".
