Spectating Bots

Ok, I tried my instructions on page 4 and it does work (ignore -console however); get console up by pressing \ or | and type all the commands (add jointeam spec at the end in case it doesn't work after all the commands) have fun watching ai :P.Last edited by DreadedGhoul575; 11-08-2015, 03:40 AM.

Sadly, it no longer works due to no console on the new dota 2 reborn

? I was spectating and the bots actually place the courier inside their spawn areas when I use them cheats, so I'm pretty sure it works now (I tried it lots of times and it works with the cheats above). Bots do use courier, but from my experience, enemies (if you play solo or co-op) won't use courier on lower difficulties than hard or unfair I think (haven't tried hard), because they place theirs outside of their base.

No, it didn't work for you. Because you don't know what we are discussing. In all-AI matches, bots cannot use the courier AT ALL.

I think I figured out the problem with bots putting down the courier (it's because they aren't on unfair, plus they ain't on your team, so they glitch due to you being spectator), you have to use this command "dota_bot_practice_difficulty 4" (default is 1) and it should work, worked for me, also I have "dota_bot_match_difficulty 4", but I'm pretty sure it automatically changes when you set that on the bot match, or co-op vs ai.
Have fun!

On reborn, there is a bug with the console; it constantly stays on the screen, so you can't fully watch the matchhopefully it'll be fixed

They work fine for me, at least on normal Dota. Not tried it on Reborn.

Shame it doesn't work. I've only figured one exact way to get it to work. To download Dota 2 Test, the bots actually work on that against each other, plus they even use the new heroes they use; Pudge, Riki.

If there is no human player, bots don't use the courier OR wards after the 0:00 mark.

It was working and now they've gone back from unfair to medium behaviour lol. Proper strange

Again this should probably be related to the difficulty setting you've got them on. Mine work fine.

The bots seem to be putting the courier outside of the fountain spawn again.

How to spectate bots (Text within quotation marks such as " and " should be plain text e.g. "sv_cheats 1" should be typed as sv_cheats 1)
1. With "-console" (without quotes) in the launch options, start dota 2.
2. You now see the console, now type "sv_cheats 1" (You can now use cheats)
3. Now type in "dota_surrender_on_disconnect 0" (this makes it so the game does not end if you disconnect)
4. Next, the map which dota 2 is played on "map dota" (this starts up a regular map of dota 2)
5. Type "jointeam spec" (This makes you join the spectator team)
6. Next is "dota_bot_set_difficulty 4" (Four is unfair difficulty if you want the bots to be close enough to pro)
7. Finally, "dota_bot_populate" (This makes the game add up to 5 bots on each team)
