DOTA2 console commands

The most useful command here is probably dota_force_right_click_attack 1
More will be added as they come. The essentials DO NOT require sv_cheats
and as far as I know do not violate any official competition rules.

Turn on console

• In steam, right cilck on "Dota 2" > properties
• Click on Set Launcher Options and add -console
• Save and start game. The default hotkey is ```` (backtick)

Other Launcher Options

Other useful SET LAUNCH OPTIONS

• -window to open in windowed mode
• -w <pixels> to set window width
• -h <pixels> to set window height
• -noborder for borderless window
• concatenate multiple options with a space. (like example below)
• Crashing when alt tab? Set options: -window -w 1920 -h 1080 -noborder -console

Essential

For what these do, see the list below.

• dota_disable_range_finder 0
• dota_player_units_auto_attack 0
• dota_force_right_click_attack 1

Various commands (original post)

List from the dev.dota2.com (where it was copied from GosuGamers)

• dota_minimap_hero_size 700 - will make the size of the hero on the minimap as big as you want. (Default 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. (Default 1)

• dota_always_show_player_names - 0 will disable, 1 will enable player name on top of health bars. (Default 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 around 200 life per block).
  3 will enable it back on and 0 will make all health bars disappear,
  the others do nothing apparently. (Default 3)

• dota_unit_use_player_color - Colors player either individually or an unified color by team.
  1 Enables individual colors, 0 Team color. (Default 1)

• dota_player_units_auto_attack - 0 will stop auto-attacking and only attacks IF you click to attack, whereas 1 will
  auto-attack at all possible times. Default = 1.

  your camera. (Default unknown)

• dota_force_right_click_attack 1 - Enable right-click deny (your creeps HP must be <50%) (Default 0)

• dota_health_per_vertical_marker 250 - 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. (default 250)
