What it doesโ€‹

The script tracks enemy Watchers (Lantern of Sight) โ€” placeable observation objects from the item of the same name โ€” and displays an information panel above each of them in world space (above the object on the map).

Active / inactive timerโ€‹

A panel is displayed above each Watcher with:

  • A state icon and a countdown timer:
    • ๐ŸŸข Green โ€” the Watcher is active (providing vision), the timer shows the remaining active time.
    • ๐Ÿ”ด Red โ€” the Watcher is inactive (it was activated, but is now on cooldown/waiting), the timer shows the remaining time until the information disappears.
  • An avatar of the hero who activated the Watcher (displayed to the right of the timer).

Capture indicator (channeling)โ€‹

When an enemy hero begins to activate a Watcher (the channeling animation ACT_DOTA_GENERIC_CHANNEL_1), an additional element appears above the object:

  • A hero portrait with a circular progress bar showing the remaining time until the activation completes.
  • A numeric timer with 0.1-second precision.

This makes it possible to notice the Watcher's activation while it is still in progress and to interrupt it or react in time.

Vision radius on the mapโ€‹

When the Vision radius option is enabled, the script draws a vision radius circle on the map for an active enemy Watcher. The color and fill of the circle are configurable.

Minimapโ€‹

An active enemy Watcher is displayed on the minimap with a red watcher icon.
