Dota-2-script

An alternative to in-game cfg scripts.

Autohotkey v1.1 was deprecated, will eventually move to 2.0. See ./ahk_2

Utility.ahk

This file contains scripts that can be used in every game.

Save aegis / buyback cooldown

You can modify the code and make it even more fancy, e.g. by returning expires 28:13, respawns 31:13-34:13. But I prefer a minimal version.

1. Click on the time to save it in the chat.
2. When you are not busy, type an optional label and a previously saved time in chat E.g.
   • rosh 2313
   • 2313
   • rosh 2510, am 2313
3. Press LControl + Numpad5 (aegis expiry time) or Numpad8 (buyback cooldown).
4. Only the last 4 characters will be modified! The updated time will be saved to your clipboard and you can recover it with ctrl+v.
   • rosh 2813
   • 2813
   • rosh 2510, am 3113

incrementAndSaveClipboard(delta){
  Send "^a"
  Sleep 50
  Send "^x"
  Sleep 50

  clipboard := A_Clipboard
  _variable := SubStr(clipboard, -4)	
  _minutes := SubStr(_variable,-4,2) + delta
  _seconds := SubStr(_variable,-2,2)
  newMinutes := SubStr("00" . _minutes,-2)
  newTime :=  newMinutes _seconds		
  ;MsgBox "newTime=" newTime

  _strLen:=StrLen(clipboard)
  if(_strLen<=4){
    A_Clipboard := newTime
  }
  else{
    restLen :=_strLen-4
    restStr := SubStr(clipboard, 1, restLen)
    result :=  restStr newTime
    A_Clipboard := result
  }  
}

Quick directional move

This is similar to a quick attack / move, but for a directional move. It will force the hero to move in a straigt line without looking for the shortest path.

• Make sure your config object includes your ingame directional move hotkey. For example: config.directional_move := "h"
• This should ideally be mapped to a rarely used key, so it doesn't interfer with the chat.
• One of my mouse hotkeys is mapped to home, but you can replace it with XButton1 / XButton2 / LWin etc

Usage

1. Abilities: slark's pounce, sf's raze, mirana's leap...
2. Other: forcestuff, placing an obs from trees...

direct() {  	
  Send "{" config.directional_move " down}{Click R}{" config.directional_move " up}"   
}

Hotkey remap

You can remap certain hotkeys to prevent them from interfering with the game

CapsLock:: .
$LWin::M

Additionaly you can make sure the capslock is always turned off when the script is active

SetCapsLockState "AlwaysOff"

Repeater

This will spam right clicks every 20ms when you hold LAlt + g

Usage

1. pick up runes/aegis.
2. steal items/runes/aegis during ember's w
3. creep block

!g:: 
{  
  while GetKeyState("g","P"){
    SendInput "{RButton}"
    Sleep 20
  }
  return
}

Hero specific scripts

You can also create your own custom scripts. Simply create a new .ahk in the root directory and import the main script like this:

#Include %A_ScriptDir%/utility.ahk
#SingleInstance force

You may also add a new icon:

TraySetIcon("../icons/arc.png", 1)

Switching between scripts

For convenience there are several shortcuts in the main script that switch between scripts. For example,

• Alt+ Numpad1 will chnage to utility.ahk

^Numpad1::{
  Run "utility.ahk" 
  ExitApp
}

• Alt+ Numpad2 will chnage to invoker.ahk

^Numpad2::{
  Run "invoker.ahk" 
  ExitApp
}

earth.ahk

Blink-safe boulder smash

This will place a stone and use boulder smash. There is a small delay to avoid a selfcast bug after using blink dagger (e.g otherwise the stone could be placed in a pre-blink location).

• Alt + q

Invisible stone

make sure the hero is watching towards the enemy and there is no rotational animation

There is a specific timing that allows to consume a stone that was just pushed, making the stone invisible and effectively casting 2 spells using 1 stone only. This is only usefull if you don't have enough stones or your ultimate is on cooldown. You usually don't want to waste slow duration at the expense of stun duration. Additionally all units under magnetise will share the slow from Q (that is Q after R is generally better).

• Alt + w

sf.ahk

Directed raze

Uses directional move to direct the hero, follows with a raze and an attack.

• Alt + q or w or e

invoker.ahk

Click a sphere 3 times

This allows to avoid tedious non-stop clicking to maximize regen & damage during laning stage or after casting a spell.

• Alt + q or w or e
