Where to find it in the menuโ€‹

Visual โ†’ Show Illusions

Inside there is a Settings section โ€” it is visible only with the "Hidden (+FPS)" illusion type.

How to enableโ€‹

  1. Menu (Insert) โ†’ Visual โ†’ Show Illusions.
  2. The script is on by default. It is turned on and off with the header toggle of the page. While it is off, the other options are inactive.

What it doesโ€‹

  • Works only with enemy illusions and hero clones (and Lone Druid's bear).
  • Illusions are tinted in their own color (dark blue by default) and shown to you the way the game shows illusions to their owner.
  • Clones (for example, Meepo) are tinted in a separate color (purple by default).
  • With "Glow effect", an outline of the same color is drawn around illusions and clones. Useful against heroes whose illusions are hard to tell apart, such as Chaos Knight.
  • Illusions type:
    • Default โ€” illusion models are visible, tinted and highlighted;
    • Hidden (+FPS) โ€” models of regular illusions are not drawn; instead, each one gets a marker at its position: an illusion icon or a yellow circle surrounded by a ring in the owner's player color. Strong illusions and clones are not hidden in this mode, only tinted.

FAQโ€‹

My own illusions are not highlighted. The script only works with enemy illusions and clones.

I turned on "Hidden (+FPS)", but some illusions are still visible. Strong illusions and clones are not hidden in this mode, only tinted.

The illusion color is hard to see. Change the color in the Illusion option and turn on Glow effect.
