What it doesโ€‹

The script tracks all enemy illusions and clones (e.g. Meepo, Vengeful Spirit) and visually marks them on the map while they are alive and visible.

Display modesโ€‹

The Illusions type setting selects one of two modes:

  • Default โ€” illusions are marked with color; regular illusions are additionally marked with an icon or a circle over the model, depending on Draw type. "Strong" illusions (IsStrongIllusion) and clones are tinted semi-transparently, without being hidden.
  • Hidden (+FPS) โ€” regular illusions are hidden client-side (not rendered by the engine), and the script draws a marker (circle or icon) over their position. This reduces GPU load, hence the FPS gain.

The Settings sub-node with marker settings is active only in Hidden (+FPS) mode.

What is drawn in Hidden (+FPS) modeโ€‹

Over the hidden illusion, the script draws a marker in one of two styles (the Draw type setting):

  • Circle โ€” a yellow filled circle with a colored border (player color).
  • Images โ€” the illusion's icon with a colored border.

The size and transparency of the marker are set by the sliders in the Settings sub-node.

Color separationโ€‹

  • Illusion โ€” the marker/glow color for regular illusions. Dark blue by default.
  • Clones โ€” the marker/glow color for clones (Meepo, Vengeful Spirit, and similar). Purple by default.

Glow effectโ€‹

With Glow effect enabled, a glow of the corresponding color is added around the illusion/clone model. This is especially useful for Chaos Knight, whose illusions are hard to tell apart visually.
