Direct pathing? in General Discussion
火 Cheesio 火

    Hi.

    I recently just started playing dota2 again after a break on 10 months.

    I remember back when I played Heroes of Newerth years ago there was a control options called "Direct pathing" which I used a lot when I was playing Mirana / Nevermore for leap / razes and also using force staff. Is there a option in Dota 2 as well for this? Or something you can change in your config?

    Also, I can see when I watch streams some people have some "range-guide-lines" when playing? Where is the option for that?

    Lastly, if someone wants to play - add me up :-)

    Cheers :)

        I put my experince to I have played dota2 before. Might have something to do with that. That's not my question. I had some games on another account though, but I decided to create a new one - so I can get the game under my skin again. You lose a lot after such a long break :)

          i wish they could improve the dota 2 path, it was the first thing that made me hate the game when i switched from d1

            Yesh. Indeed!

            So it's not possible in dota2? Man that sucks. I always used it a lot in hon with soulstealer, tablet etc... Such a good command :)

              It is but you have to mess with the config file.

                what is direct pathing? like going over trees and stuff wtf?

                  It just make it a lot easier to raze / jump / tablet in the right direction.

                  If you are in mid - and you know there is one farming at ancients. If you click your hero against their hero, it will begin to run the way around. If you hold "direct pathing" you would walk into the direction you are clicking / the "trees" and that would make it way more easy to raze over the "highground". Make sense?

                  You can see it here as well: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nf3nZZugMGI (1 minut) another example.

                  Do you have a guide, or anything? :-)

                  I really miss this option. It was so GOOD. :-) (Same goes for the hotkeys in the shop in HoN) 2 things HoN did good..

                      I haven't played hon for ages, and I have played Shadow Fiend tons in Dota2. But I still miss the options if it was avaible since it's kinda OP. :D

                        I doubt you could change it/enable it, simply because that is advanced mechanics, and i doubt you can easily change that things.

                            This was to answer your second question, where you see radius also there is a config change for directional pathing but direct pathing is not something that people really care about though I am sure someone has added a script for it

                              If you change it though won't it mess up all of your other movements? I know what you are saying and it sounds awesome for a hero like slark but I'd worry about clicking a lane to run to and my guy gets stuck in the trees. Woods rotations be a nightmare.
