That's actually a neat idea! According to dota2wiki/Console_Command_List, there is a command called:
display_elapsedtime - Displays how much time has elapsed since the game started

Haven't tried it out yet tho.

To clarify, using console to change various settings/tweaks, remapping hotkeys are perfectly fine.
Using console/autoexec.cfg etc to create macro is not. This includes, but not limited to, invoker/meepo/enigma etc (combo) scripts, smartcasting etc.
Anything non-default that actively helps you play your game is cheating except some very specific exception like hotkey remapping. Scripts that perform micro/macro do not fall in to these exceptions.

This has been the official stance about autoscripts/macros since ages when it comes to DotA and it will remain the same for Dota 2 until otherwise notified.

Just like at PlayDota.com, this rule will be strictly enforced in this forum. Please report the posts discussing these cheats.

If you have any specific questions, send me a PM.

Closed.

I get why this is considered cheating, but what I don't get is why the console allows commands that are considered cheating even by the developement team!?

None of the commands are considered cheating when being used alone. It's the usage of macros that is not legal!
A script is considered a macro, as soon as its purpose is to perform a chain of actions faster than a player's hands/brain would allow.

Create a separate file called autoexec.cfg and put all your tweaks in there. It goes in the same place as config.cfg and the game will automatically load it.

just set them in game. Why would you want it done in the autoexec? go to options and change them via the hotkeys panel.....

edit: oh u want to use space as a modifier? can't remember how you do that! you will have to make sure your spacebar isn't set as a hotkey already tho

don't know if you might want to add this to the OP but if you use -international in the launch options, you get the blue background instead of the default one.

Didn't see anyone answer this yet so here's the line I use to center on hero with F1.

bind "F1" "+dota_camera_follow; +dota_camera_follow; -dota_camera_follow" // center on hero but not follow

Just change the f1 to whatever key you want (spacebar).

I think the rough idea is that it locks&centers the camera on your hero, then unlocks it. So the effect is just centering on hero with one press.

(\o/)  If you want it, you find a way. Otherwise you find excuses. No exceptions.

Can you have more than one dota_range_display on your character at a time?

I find both 1200 and 500 have their uses but am hoping for a better work around than binding a key to change them in game (have both up simultaneously)

Currently in Dota2, when a spell selected, I can cancel it by right-clicking, pressing ESC, or other various buttons. However, I wanted to know if there was a way to make it like in war3, where if I right-clicked while a spell was selected, that it'd cancel AND allow me to move to the selected place where I right-clicked (at the same time).

It only works with cheats enabled. So unfortunately, this is a no go.

I realize this post has been around for a while; however, i've just started to play dota2 a lot and being able to deny by right clicking is a huge help. I realize there is so much more info included here, thanks for a great guide.

dota_player_multipler_orders 1

That command does not work for me. If i press CTRL + key it tells me either that i have no skill points available or that skill is maxed. It is some kind of "ability learn" but whithout the yellow thingy popping up, so if i hold down CTRL it wants me to learn a skill and if i release CTRL i can cast a spell unlike ability learn where i have to press the key again to be able to cast something. Hard to explain without a video. I dont know how to get rid of that shit, there is nothing in my config about it and ability learn is on a different hotkey. Tried it with a config from my friend but didnt help. Also tried to uninstall and install fresh but still the same. Anyone else got a suggestion?

http://www.reddit.com/r/DotA2/comments/115pxx/autoexeccfg_space_as_modifier_key/

can anyone help that has this working?

Are config files generally allowed in Tournaments?

Was here to ask pretty much this question and one additional question, are you able to load multiple config files at the same time? What I have been thinking about, and something which imo would be a pretty useful tool, is if you are able to make chat commands in regards to the time, is to set up one config file for every hero\hotkey with long cooldown\important abilities, and then load in the approriate config files into the game. Can imagine it would be a lot easier to accurately track the time of important abilities by just clicking 1 hotkey to write down the time, than having to do it manually, especially since such abilities are used in a teamfight, where you obviously have no time to be typing. So is it possible to send messages which includs a print of the time?

Obviously I suck at dota and have absolutely no "right" to tell the pro's what they should do. But big abilities can have such a huge impact in dota and a few seconds is so long, it contiunues to surprise me how it seems like only a few people\teams realize the importance of tracking various cooldowns (and even the teams who takes it into account seem to not do it as much as they 'should.') Knowing black hole is down for 20 more seconds giving you time to push into tier 3 can completely change a game\how you play it.

I know in chinese tournaments that i've watched I've seen a 6th man in the booth for each team, generally referred to as the manager. He not only helps with strats and pick/bans but also keeps track of important cooldowns. I think this practice has largely died down as players began doing this on their own.
