Hide Hero names
Syntax
These are used with the -createhero command as
follows:
-createhero npc_dota_hero_clinkz
-createhero npc_dota_hero_lina enemy
The "npc_dota_hero_" portion is optional. The following
commands are also valid:
-createhero clinkz
-createhero lina enemy
Additionally, the entirety of the hero's name need not be
added if it is sufficiently long enough to identify the
hero. For example, all of the following commands will
spawn an allied Anti-Mage unit:
-createhero npc_dota_hero_antimage
-createhero antimage
-createhero an
The parameter need not necessarily be the beginning of
their name either. The command,
-createhero mage
will also spawn an Anti-Mage , just as how the
commands,
-createhero pain
-createhero bringer
-createhero zor
will spawn Queen of Pain , Doom, and Razor units
respectively.
Internal names
These internal names can be found inside the text files
within the item builds folder, at:
Steam\steamapps\common\dota 2 beta\dota
\itembuilds
Most of these internal names are the same as the hero's
given name. However if a hero has two words in its
name (i.e. Ancient Apparition ) then as a rule of thumb
its internal name will join the words with an underscore
(i.e. ancient_apparition). There are few exceptions
whose internal names do not use underscores or directly
mirror the hero's name.
