What it does

The script tracks enemy Observer and Sentry wards and displays them in several ways at once.

Timer on the ward (world screen)

Above each detected ward the script draws a card with:

• an emoji icon of the ward type (🧿 Observer / 🔵 Sentry);
• a timer of the ward's remaining lifetime (in seconds; MM:SS format or fractional — depends on the Format time setting);
• the avatar of the hero who placed this ward.

The size of the card is adjusted with the Size in world slider.

Icon on the minimap

Every ward is automatically marked with an icon on the minimap:

• Observer — a yellow ward_obs icon;
• Sentry — a blue ward_invis icon.

The icons disappear when the ward is destroyed or expires.

Vision/detection radius

Optionally, a radius circle is drawn around the ward — vision for Observer, true sight for Sentry. The radius is taken from current game data (vision_range_tooltip / true_sight_range).

• The color, style (line/fill) and render mode of the circle are configured separately for each ward type.

3D ward model

When the Draw 3D option is enabled, a 3D particle (the ward model from the game resources) is shown above the ward's position. The particle is shown only when the ward is not within vision range (hidden) — if the ward is directly visible, the 3D model is not duplicated.

Status panel

A separate floating panel on the screen shows the total number of active enemy wards: how many Observers and how many Sentries are placed right now. The panel can be dragged with the mouse.

The panel hides if the shop or the scoreboard is open while they overlap its position.

Ward detection logic

The script uses two mechanisms:

1. Direct visibility — if a ward appears within vision range (EntityCreated), it is immediately added to the list with its real position and a real timer from the modifier (modifier_item_buff_ward).
2. Inventory calculation — the script tracks the number of ward charges on enemy heroes. When the count decreases but the ward is not visible, a "ghost" (FakeWard) is created with an estimated position (in front of the hero). When the real ward appears in vision, the ghost is updated to the exact data.

At the end of the match all wards and icons are reset.
