Is there no way to spawn a controllable enemy unit? -createhero npc_dota_hero_name enemy doesn't make an enemy unit, but an allied one. I've tried all sorts of suffixes, including dire, and it always results in an allied unit.

Updated with all new info. Please check if there is any mistake or not.
Need more info about timescale and console command for unit create.

On a sidenote, -wtf can cause some spells to bug out, so it's a bad way of testing bugs with spells. Malefice for instance won't stun multiple times. Just saying
Also, if we had spoiler tags, we could easily fit the item/hero lists in a post. Given that naming conventions for items are very very random, this list is quite important when using the -item or -givebots command.

Someone please verify this. ioes, can it be possible that only malefice is bugged?

If you place yourself on the dire side, the first 4 heroes you spawn will fill up the rest of the dire side, every hero thereafter will be radiant (enemy) and controllable. This does not work if you are on radiant.

CVP, maybe you should add this part too.

I've only played enigma with -wtf so far and malefice didn't behave as you'd espect it to: casting it multiple times on one target does nothing. There may or may not be other spells with weird behaviour, better remove the advice until someone tests it with other heroes.

This is completely obsolete as you can very easy spawn controllable enemy heroes with "-createhero <n> enemy" command

It does not work if you are on radiant even if you add the 'enemy' suffix. It still spawns an allied unit.

EDIT: Never mind, I know why its not working for me. I never tried using the commands on radiant without bots, only on dire. If the other side is filled the spawned unit will be allied.


In addition, I just tested enigma's malefice in -wtf. It seems to be working just fine, rather than stacking subsequent casts it refreshes the instances of stun/dmg the target takes. ioes, are you sure you werent just using the level 1 version of the skill? It only stuns once on lvl 1.

Removed the notice and fixed a few typo.

@DLRevan If possible, please explain the -createhero behavior in a clean fashion with multiple examples. I will link to your post.

[DLRevan]

Its a small issue actually, only a problem if someone needs a large number of heroes to test.

-createhero command, regardless of suffix used or player's side, cannot be used to make more than 5 Dire heroes.


If Dire has 4 heroes or less: -createhero will spawn a controllable bot hero for the appropriate side, depending on whether 'enemy' suffix is used.
Example: If you are radiant, and you use "-createhero <n> enemy", a dire hero will spawn.


If Dire has five heroes: -createhero, regardless if enemy suffix is used, will spawn a radiant bot hero.
Examples: If you are Radiant, "-createhero <n> enemy" will spawn a radiant hero.
If you are Dire, "-createhero <n>" (no suffix) will spawn a radiant hero.


Radiant can have an unlimited number of heroes.

Thanks a lot. Added.
