DotA Commands/FAQ
A command is the text you have to type in the Warcraft III message box in order to activate a certain action in DotA. You can do so by pressing Enter (at which point the message box appears), typing in the command, and pressing enter again to submit. DotA then processes the text and activates the Command. A general rule is that all entries must start with a dash (minus symbol), in order to be processed by the DotA engine. Almost every command has a longer/full version, and an abbreviated one. The abbreviated alternative for each command exists in order to ease the entry process.
The commands are listed in the following format:
Cmd | Command (Abbreviated version | Full version)
Description of the command
-Additional Info
For ease of reference, they are also categorized and divided into three main sections:
- Game Modes
- Commands Available to All Players
- Singleplayer Commands
Game Modes
Game modes are the commands that determine the game type at the start of a game. They must be entered within the first 15 game seconds.
Activating multiple modes at once is achieved by simply adding the commands necessary to activate the modes in the same line in the message box. The order does not affect the entry. Combining the abbreviated and full versions doesn't affect the entry as well. Here are some examples of possible entries for activating All Pick and Duplicate Mode: -apdu; -ap -du; -allpick -du; -duplicatemodeap; etc.
This section is divided into two sub-sections: Main Game Modes and Additional Game Modes. These sections exist in order to better the explanation of the incompatibilities which exist between most of the game modes.
Main Game Modes
These modes are labeled as Main Game Modes because only one mode from this group can be used in one game. This is because these modes determine how and which heroes can be acquired. If an attempt is made to combine them, an error is displayed (such as "Invalid Game Mode Combination!" or "[mode] isn't compatible with these modes!". Most of these modes work with the remaining, listed as Additional Game Modes below, but there are exceptions (incompatibilities) which are noted.
If a mode is not entered within the first 15 game seconds, the game defaults to Normal Mode. In this mode, the teams can only pick heroes from the taverns located on their side and get 175 gold refunded after they pick (the refund is exclusive only to this mode).
-ap | -allpick
All players are able to pick a hero from any tavern.
-tr | -teamrandom
All players receive a random hero from the taverns located on their side.
Cannot be used with: -rv, -dm
-ar | -allrandom
All players are given a random hero from any tavern.
Cannot be used with: -rv
-mr | -moderandom
Mode random mode. A random mode is activated from the following modes: Normal Mode, All Pick, Team Random, All Random.
Cannot be used with: -rv, dm
-rd | -randomdraft
Two taverns are filled with random heroes from all taverns, resulting in 22 possible heroes to pick from. Both sides take turns in picking heroes in a 1-2-2-2-2-1 order. One turn lasts 20 seconds, meaning that the player(s) who has to pick in a particular turn, must do so within those 20 seconds (not picking within the time limit results in acquiring a random hero). The first team to pick a hero is randomly chosen.
- The amount of players on each team must be equal in order to be activated
Cannot be used with: -aa, -ai, -as, -rv, -sh, -dm, -mm
-sd | -singledraft
Each player is given 3 random heroes (from any tavern) to pick from. The pick is done with the -pick # command, where # is replaced with 1, 2 or 3 for each option respectively.
- The first option is an Agility hero, the second is a Strength hero and the third is an Intelligence hero.
Cannot be used with: -aa, -ai, -as, -rv, -sh, -dm, -mm
-vr | -voterandom
Three random matchups are presented as voting options and each player can vote for the option they prefer. The voting is done with the -option # command, where # is replaced with 1, 2 or 3 for each option respectively.
- The amount of players on each team must be equal in order to be activated. In the event of a draw between the options, a random one is chosen.
Cannot be used with: -aa, -ai, -as, -sh, -rv, -dm, -mm
-lm | -leaguemode
Both sides take turns in picking heroes. The picking is in a 1-2-2-2-2-1 order, meaning the first team picks one hero, then the second teams picks 2 heroes, team one picks two heroes etc. until the second team picks one last hero. One turn lasts 20 seconds, meaning that the player(s) who has to pick in a particular turn, must do so within those 20 seconds (not picking within the time limit results in acquiring a random hero). The first team to pick a hero is randomly chosen.
- This mode can only be activated in 5 versus 5 games.
Cannot be used with: -aa, -ai, -as, -id, -np, -sc, -em, -du, -sh, -rv, -om, -nt, -nm, -nb, -dm, -mm
-xl | -extendedleague

Cannot be used with: -aa, -ai, -as, -id, -np, -sc, -em, -du, -sh, -rv, -om, -nt, -nm, -nb, -dm, -mm
Additional Game Modes
Most of these modes can be combined with eachother and the Main Game Modes listed above (except where noted otherwise). However, there are incompatibilities in between these modes which are noted as above.
-sp | -shuffleplayers

-nr | -norepick

-dm | -deathmatch
Every hero that gets killed is removed from the game. The player that controlled that hero acquires a new one in par with the primary game mode i.e. if it's normal mode (only -dm was entered) the hero picks a new hero from the taverns on his side. Aside from losing by World Tree/Frozen Throne destruction, the game is lost when the deaths equal 44 (can be modified with the Death Match optional mode -lives xx).
Deathmatch optional modes:-nd
The Respawn time is removed.
-lives xx

-mm | -mirrormatch

Commands available to all players
These commands can be used to their effect by any player in the game.

-gameinfo
Displays the activated game modes accompanied by brief explanations.
-swap | -swaphero
The -swap/-swaphero command lists the teammates' heroes as swapping options, labeled with numbers from 1 to 5.
-swap #
The # is a number (range is from 1 to 5) from the options presented when the -swap | -swaphero command is typed. Entering this command prompts the player which controls the hero (option number) that an offer for swapping has been made. In order for two heroes to get swapped, both players have to type -swap #(entering eachother's option number).
- The options are generated by the player number, and are easily remembered by their color: Sentinel are: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and scourge: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. Example: The Blue player has to type -swap 4 and the Yellow player has to type -swap 1 in order to swap their heroes. Items and control over the hero will be switched. This command cannot be typed after the first wave of creep commences.
-swapcancel is activated after a successful swap.
-swapcancel
All swap requests from and to the player are canceled.
-swapall
Requests -swap/-swaphero with all players.
- -swapcancel is activated before the requests are made.
-recreate
This command is meant for some heroes that have the ability to undergo a metamorphosis (Dragon Knight, Lycanthrope and Soul Keeper) where there are rare problems with losing control of the unit. The command can be used when the hero is near team's Fountain area. There is a 200 game seconds channeling time, to prevent abuses.
-unstuck
Pauses your hero (cannot move or use skills) for 60 game seconds, after which he's transported to your fountain. This command is meant for use when your hero is stuck in an impassable part of terrain/blocked between trees.
This command is currently disabled.

These two commands are designed to prevent abuses of spells that can be cast on allies.

If you type -disablehelp, allied casts of Test of Faith, Sprout and Astral Imprisonment will not work on you. If you type -enablehelp later on, the spells can be cast on you once again.
