Where to find it in the menuโ
Visual โ Cooldowns
The page is split into tabs at the top: General, Spells, Items, Modifiers, Style.
How to enableโ
- Menu (
Insert) โ Visual โ Cooldowns. - The script is enabled by default. It is turned on and off with the header toggle of the page (the same toggle is on the General tab).
- By default abilities and items are shown only for enemies. To see them for allies or your own hero, check them in the Team row on the Spells and Items tabs. Modifiers (important, auras, buffs, debuffs) are shown for enemies and allies by default, but not for your own hero.
What it doesโ
Where and for whom
- The bars are drawn above a unit's health bar while it is visible, in the fog with a known position, or teleporting (then also at the destination point).
- Units: heroes (regular illusions are not shown; Tempest Double and Meepo clones are), Roshan, couriers, Spirit Bear, Visage familiars, Brewmaster spirits, neutral creeps. Each unit type has its own toggle and offset on each tab.
- Meepo clones are shown compactly by default: only Earthbind and Poof โ the clone's own cooldowns (items and passives of the clones are shared with the main Meepo). The clones' modifiers are shown as usual. The mode is changed in "Meepo clones" on the General tab: "Full" โ all abilities and items, "Hidden" โ nothing is drawn for the clones.
- Disabled by default: courier abilities and neutral creep abilities. For the courier only Speed Burst and Shield are shown. For creeps โ only active abilities.
Abilities and items
- Cells are drawn like the in-game buttons: bluish if there is not enough mana; gray if the ability is not learned; dimmed with a timer while on cooldown.
- The border color shows what prevents casting: blue โ no mana, teal โ alternate cast, green โ casting in progress, red โ cooldown or lock (mute, Break, etc.).
- The ability level is shown as small squares in the "Level color" (from level 5 โ as a number), charges โ as a number in the "Charge color".
- Minimalistic mode: ready abilities shrink into narrow strips, abilities on cooldown show a cell with a timer.
Modifiers They are split into categories, each with its own toggle and team selection:
- Important โ stuns, silences, shields, channeling;
- Auras (global auras โ via a separate toggle);
- Buffs;
- Debuffs.
A modifier's remaining time is shown as a ring (round icons) or a border (square icons). As a number โ if "Remaining time" is enabled: in the middle of the icon, or in its top left corner when there are stacks. The stack count is in the bottom right corner. Both grow with the icon size and use the text style (font, effect under the digits). Modifiers the game applies only for an instant (for example, the periodic hits of Fire Spirits) are not shown, so the row does not blink.
Near the cursor
- Opacity on hover makes the bars more transparent near the cursor so they do not get in the way of clicking.
- Scale shrinks the bars near the cursor (down to half size).
Preview and dragging The page has a scene with an example hero and bars. You can drag a bar with the mouse (or move it with the keyboard arrows) โ this changes the offset for the selected unit type. The mouse wheel changes the size, Ctrl + wheel โ the text size, right-click opens the bar settings. What to show on the scene is set by the Preview gear (settings) icon on the General tab.

FAQโ
I don't see cooldowns for allies or my own hero. By default abilities and items are shown only for enemies. Check "Allies" and/or "Your hero" in the Team row on the Spells and Items tabs.
I don't see buffs and debuffs on my own hero. Your own hero's modifiers are off by default. Modifiers tab โ gear of the category you need (Important, Auras, Buffs, Debuffs) โ check "Your hero" in the Team row.
Meepo clones show only two abilities. This is the "Compact" mode (the default): the clones keep only Earthbind and Poof. To see everything, set "Meepo clones" to "Full" on the General tab.
How do I move the bar higher or lower? Open the page and drag the bar on the preview scene. The offset is saved separately for each unit type. You can also set it manually: the gear (settings) icon of the unit type โ Position: X / Y.
The bars disappear or become transparent when I hover the mouse. This is "Opacity on hover" (enabled by default) and "Scale". Turn them off on the General tab.
Why are the courier's abilities not visible? Courier abilities are disabled by default: Spells tab โ "Courier" gear (settings) icon โ enable it. Only Speed Burst and Shield are shown.
