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.
