В Dota 2 существует множество косметических предметов, позволяющих улучшать внешний вид героев, курьероев, зданий, окружения и т.д. Кроме того, в данной игре присутствует и возможность добавления различных эффектов по всей карте. Специально для этого были добавлены погодные эффекты. Подробнее о них, а также о том, как их получить и как ими пользоваться, смотрите ниже.
Для чего нужны погодные эффекты в Дота 2, и как они работают
Погодные эффекты были созданы лишь для улучшения внешнего вида карты и добавления разнообразия в игру. Никаких преимуществ игрокам они не дают. Так что, приобретают их лишь для красоты.
Все погодные эффекты работают автоматически, для этого их нужно лишь включить в своем инвентаре. Далее, во время игры по всей карте будут появляться различные эффекты, анимации и новые звуки. Все это будет создавать атмосферу той или иной погоды (например, дождь, снег и т.д.).
Как получить погодные эффекты в Dota 2
Все погодные эффекты, которые существуют в Dota 2, выдавались игрокам за приобретение компендиума к различным турнирам The International. Сегодня же получить их таким способом невозможно. Также, отметим, что все погодные эффекты невозможно продать на торговой площадке Steam.
Единственный способ получения погодных эффектов в 2021 году – обмен между игроками. Для этого вы можете воспользоваться различными группами, которые всегда доступны в интернете. Также, погодные эффекты продаются игроками на различных сторонних площадках (к примеру, на Market Dota 2 можно купить различные эффекты за 30 – 400 рублей).
Разновидности погодных эффектов в Dota 2
На сегодняшний день в игре существует 9 различных погодных эффектов. Все они были разработаны специально для The International 2014 – 2016 и выдавались игрокам, купившим компендиумы к данным турнирам. Предлагаем ознакомиться подробнее с каждым погодным эффектом:
-
Weather Moonbeam. Этот погодный эффект добавляет по всей карте лунные блики, которые имеют яркое свечение в дневное время суток и голубоватое свечение в ночное время. Получить его могли все владельцы компендиума The International 2014 (выдавался сразу после покупки).
-
Weather Rain. Этот эффект добавляет дождь и молнии, которые будут появляться время от времени по всей карте. Получить его можно было с компендиума от The International 2014.
-
Weather Snow. Добавляет снег, который будет идти по всей карте на постоянной основе. Этот эффект выдавался всем владельцам компендиума The International 2014.
-
Weather Harvest. Добавляет на карту осенние эффекты (падающие листья, желтеющая трава, желтоватый фон экрана и многое другое). Выдавался этот погодный эффект владельцам компендиума The International 2015.
-
Weather Sirocco. Добавляет по всей карте эффекты песчаной бури. Получить его можно было с компендиума The International 2015.
-
Weather Pestilence. Добавляет на карту кислотный дождь, а также делает весь фон игры зеленоватым и меняет цвет воды в реке на зеленый. Выдавался этот эффект с компендиума к The International 2015.
-
Weather Ash. Погодный эффект с компендиума The International 2016. При его активации по всей карте будет падать горящий пепел.
-
Weather Aurora. Этот погодный эффект создает по всей карте сумерки с голубыми лучами. Выпадал же он с компендиума от The International 2016.
-
Weather Spring. Добавляет по всей карте различные весенние эффекты. Выпадал он с боевого пропуска The International 2016.
В настоящий момент — это все погодные эффекты, которые были добавлены в Дота 2. Как видите, все они добавляют на карту различные новые анимации и эффекты. За счет этого создается определенная атмосфера, делающая игру более интересной.
Как установить/изменить погодные эффекты в Dota 2
Включить любой из имеющихся погодных эффектов в Dota 2 максимально просто и быстро. Но учтите, что сделать это вы можете только до начала игры (можно поменять и во время игры, но эффект изменится лишь к началу следующего матча). Для этого вам необходимо выполнить несколько простых действий:
-
Перейти в инвентарь в главном меню игры.
-
Открыть раздел «Окружение».
- Нажать ПКМ на нужный вам погодный эффект.
-
Кликнуть в открывшемся меню по клавише «Надеть».
Далее, можете запускать игру и в ней у вас отобразится выбранный погодный эффект. Также, отметим, что если в вашем инвентаре присутствует сразу несколько погодных эффектов, то можно воспользоваться всеми ими одновременно. Для этого нужно лишь нажать ПКМ на любой из эффектов и выбрать строку «Включить случайный выбор». В таком случае в каждой игре будет устанавливаться случайный погодный эффект из вашего инвентаря. А если захотите отключить все погодные эффекты, то просто нажмите на кнопку «Выключить случайный выбор» или «Снять».

Чит Shadow Dance Menu — полезный хак под актуальный патч Дота 2 7.32 с функциями, которые вам облегчат игровой процесс. К примеру, вы сможете убрать «туман войны», изменить расстояние камеры (зум-хак) или даже изменить погоду. Управление всем функционалом происходит через специально меню, которое вы можете наблюдать на скриншоте. Конечно, основной функционал чита Shadow Dance Menu направлен на визуальную составляющую, поэтому в нем не ищите автокасты для героев.
Основные функции чита Shadow Dance Menu
- Отображает оверлей, если Вас видит вражеская команда (герой, крипы, башни и т.д.)
- Показывает дальность ренжа блинк даггера
- Отдаленная камера
- Изменяет погоду
- Возможность удалить «туман войны»
- Взлом карты частиц (можно видеть эффекты умений tp и aoe противника)
- Сканировать смещения vbe
Инструкция по установке и запуску хака
- Скачайте чит с нашего сайта
- Распакуйте архив
- Запустите игру Dota 2, если она еще не запущена
- Откройте папку, в которой находится чит, и запустите его.
- Наслаждайтесь и обязательно прочитайте примечания ниже!
- Удерживайте левую кнопку мыши на меню, чтобы переместить его
- Дважды щелкните по меню, чтобы закрыть его
Примечание (обязательно к прочтению)
Каждый раз, когда матч заканчивается, нажмите кнопку сброса параметров. Существует проблема, из-за которой иногда видимость появляется, даже если враг не видит вас, это происходит из-за того, что m_flStartSequenceCycle начинается с 0,0, а затем увеличивается до 1,0 (новое значение vbe = 0, а не vbe = 0,01-0,9), поэтому каждый раз, когда вы нажмите стоп или начните движение вашего персонажа m_flStartSequenceCycle начнется с 0, а затем на мгновение отобразится как видимый. Разработчика работает над способом исправить это в ближайшее время.
Если vbe не работает из-за обновления, последнее смещение vbe будет указывать на неправильный адрес (другие смещения вряд ли изменятся). Чтобы исправить это, нам нужно отсканировать новое смещение. Создайте матч с ботом, затем в игре нажмите кнопку Rescan vbe. после этого сделайте себя видимым для вражеской команды, а затем снова нажмите кнопку повторного сканирования vbe (проверьте консоль). Он автоматически сохранит обновленное смещение в файле offsets.ini (находится по тому же пути, что и dota2.exe)

Vision changes around while the hero moves.
| “ |
▶️ Oh, nice view! — Monkey King |
” |
Vision describes what a unit can and cannot see within a circular area from its current location and state. Places a unit cannot see are filled with the Fog of War, a dark mist that hides enemy units inside of it. Allied units cannot be hidden by the fog of war. Invisible units cannot be seen even when outside of the Fog of War, unless they are revealed by a source of True Sight. Trees and higher elevation block a unit’s vision if it has ground vision. Flying vision is unobstructed by trees and elevation. Abilities can grant vision over areas as well, usually for a short amount of time and limited to their area of effect.
All vision is shared within a team, which means that everything allied units see can be seen by the player as well. This includes allied player-controlled units, as well as NPC units, like lane creeps and buildings.
Fog of War[]
All areas outside of friendly vision are constantly covered by the Fog of War. Any non-friendly units within the Fog of War cannot be seen or directly targeted, however they can still be hit by non-targeted spells. To unveil units in the Fog of War, an allied unit must gain vision over that area.
If an enemy enters the fog of war during the cast time of an ability, the cast gets canceled. However, attacks do not cancel if their targets enter the fog of war during the attack animation.
Elevation[]
Units cannot see areas that are on higher elevations than them.
The Dota 2 map’s cliffs and valleys shape the battle, determining both where units can move and what they can see. Units with ground vision cannot see areas that are on higher elevation than them. For example, a unit standing in the river (which is the on the lowest elevation) cannot see anything past the cliffs surrounding the river, or beyond the ramps leading out of the river.
On the other side, units standing on higher elevation effectively have unobstructed vision on lower elevation. For example, a unit standing on an elevated ward spot can see the entire surrounding, unobstructed by nearby trees, regardless of their vision type.
Units with flying vision do not have their vision obstructed by higher elevations.
Trees[]
Amount of vision blocked by single tree changes based on proximity to it.
Besides blocking pathing, trees also block vision for units on the same elevation as them, and for units one elevation above them. Trees block vision like how objects cast shadows: The closer the object is to the source of light, the bigger and wider the object’s shadow gets. The closer a unit is to a tree, the more vision is blocked by the tree, blocking out an entire section of the circular vision area of the unit. The exact numbers for these are unknown.
The small trees created by 
Iron Branch, 
Ironwood Tree, 
Woodland Striders, and 
Sprout have a narrower vision blocker than the regular trees on the map.
Units with flying vision do not have their vision obstructed by trees.
Vision Blockers[]
Artificial vision blockers exist at certain locations, which control visibility additionally to the normal rules. All sources of flying vision are unaffected by vision blockers.
Fountain Entrances[]
Both fountains have a vision blocker at their stairs, preventing the enemies of that fountain’s team from seeing into the fountain area from outside. This is normally redundant, since the fountain’s higher elevation already prevents vision, but it also prevents vision from nearby higher-elevation ground, such as the 
Radiant fountain ward cliff.
Roshan Pit[]
Green tiles can see in, but cannot be seen from inside. Red tiles can see out, but cannot be seen from outside.
Roshan‘s pit is sealed by vision blockers that prevent vision both into and out of the pit.
However, the pit entrance also has phantom spots, areas in which vision is asymmetric. Units standing in these areas can either see into the pit while being unseen from inside, or see out of the pit while being unseen from outside. These may be useful for juking, scouting Roshan attempts, and for hiding wards, most notably 
Remote Mines. With ground vision, units on phantom spots can only be seen by standing within 3 tiles of them (in rectilinear distance).
In-game, the phantom spots are not marked. To tell when you’ve stepped into a phantom spot, look for a subtle brightning of a small area of ground around you. This indicates you have direct vision of some phantom spot tiles, implying you are in a phantom spot yourself. The right side of the pit entrance has the largest continuous phantom spot, so it is the most forgiving location for this.
Time of Day[]
The current time of day affects vision. Most units’ vision range is shorter at night and higher by day. Exceptions exist, with some units having shorter day vision and longer night vision, and some having the same vision regardless of time.
Base Vision Ranges[]
Most units have day and night vision, only very few have absolutely no vision. These values can be altered with vision bonuses and reductions.

+500Sources of Vision[]
Units are not the only entities with vision. A lot of abilities are able to create vision cells of varying sizes on the world, revealing an area of a fixed duration.
Caster Vision[]
Caster vision granted over 
Bane to his enemies for casting 
Brain Sap on them.
Caster vision is a vision cell granted to the victims of targeted spells and attacks. Whenever a unit casts a spell (except 
Charge of Darkness) on an enemy within 1800 range, or performs an attack on them, the enemy gains 150 radius ground vision around the casting or attacking unit which lasts for 2 seconds. This vision prevents players from easily and constantly harassing enemies from the fog of war, especially with long-distant spells that can be spammed easily like 
Arcane Bolt, or with ranged attacks.
Only one of these vision cell can exist per unit. This means if a vision cell already exists from a previous targeted order, performing another targeted order within the previous vision cell’s duration does not create a second vision cell. Instead, the location of the previous vision cell gets updated, its duration gets reset, and its vision type is changed to flying vision.
Caster vision is also applied upon launching an attack. The result of the attack does not matter, if the attack is executed, the vision is granted.

Ground vision is obstructed by trees, higher elevations, and vision blockers.

Shared Vision[]
Some abilities are capable of sharing an enemy unit’s vision the player’s team. This means anything that unit sees can also be seen by its opponents.
Sources of shared vision
-
Duration: 6
Shares the target’s vision for the duration. -
Duration: 5
Shares the target’s vision upon latching on it. -
Duration: 700
Shares the target’s vision, as well as the vision of the secondary target it binds to. -
Duration: 2
Shares all rooted enemies’ vision. -
Duration: 5/6/7/8
Shares the target’s vision while draining them. -
Duration: 3/4/5/6
Shares the targets’ vision during the initial debuff’s duration. -
Duration: 4
Shares the target’s vision upon cast begin. Vision is removed prematurely on projectile impact. -
Duration: 7
Shares all hit enemy heroes’ vision as long as they create a shadow path still. -
Shares the target’s vision until the charge stops, either upon reaching it, or when canceled earlier.
Exposing[]
Several abilities can expose an enemy’s model through the fog of war, without truly providing vision over them. This means the Fog of War still shrouds their surroundings, but they are visible and targetable as if they were not within the Fog of War. Exposed enemies are treated as visible units by abilities.
Exposing an enemy does not cancel out the effects of invisibility, although it does make their silhouette visible. An exposed invisible enemy has its location revealed, and can even be selected like a visible enemy, but is still almost fully treated as an invisible unit. This means it still cannot be targeted by attacks or single-targeted abilities, and still counts as invisible in terms of abilities affecting them, with very few exceptions. Some sources of exposure also provide True Sight to fully reveal the enemy, but not all do.
Exposing is a default component of shared vision so that all abilities listed in the previous section also expose enemies. Besides them, the following abilities expose enemies.
- 1 Requires talent.
- 2a Requires Aghanim’s Scepter.
- 2b Requires Aghanim’s Shard.
Aghanim’s ShardExposure without True Sight
- 1 Requires talent.
- 2a Requires Aghanim’s Scepter.
- 2b Requires Aghanim’s Shard.
- 3 Exposes the current target of the Tranced hero.
Vision interaction with spells[]
Generally, unit-targeted spells require vision over the target, while ground targeted or non-target spells may be cast regardless of vision. Once cast, a spell usually works regardless of vision. Area effects usually do not require vision to affect enemies. Some non-targeted spells that do the targeting themselves may require vision over enemies. There are exceptions to all of these.
The following spells require vision over enemies to affect them
1Requires 
Aghanim’s Scepter.
2Requires a talent.
3When the current target of these spells die, they choose new targets. Only choose visible enemies.
4
Mana Drain ends immediately if the target enters the fog of war.
5When Starstorm’s initial wave requires vision over enemies, the secondary single projectile does not.
6When 
Multicast items and 
Ignite only target visible secondary targets.
Recent Changes[]
- Firefly no longer grants flying vision while active.
Firefly- Vision and Fog of War can now be any numerical value, rather than specific intervals (previously it was 0, 64, 192, 320, 448, 576, 704, 800, 832, 960, 1088, 1216, 1344, 1472, 1600, 1728).
- Previously if you had a vision between the fixed intervals, it would clamp to a fixed value.
- Mystic Snake no longer requires Fog of War vision to bounce.

Vision describes what a unit can and cannot see within a circular area from its current location and state. Places a unit cannot see are filled with the Fog of War, a dark mist that hides enemy units inside of it. Allied units cannot be hidden by the fog of war. Invisible units cannot be seen even when outside of the Fog of War, unless they are revealed by a source of True Sight. Trees and higher elevation block a unit’s vision if it has ground vision. Flying vision is unobstructed by trees and elevation. Abilities can grant vision over areas as well, usually for a short amount of time and limited to their area of effect.
All vision is shared within a team, which means that everything allied units see can be seen by the player as well. This includes allied player-controlled units, as well as NPC units, like lane creeps and buildings.
Fog of War[]
All areas outside of friendly vision are constantly covered by the Fog of War. Any non-friendly units within the Fog of War cannot be seen or directly targeted, however they can still be hit by non-targeted spells. To unveil units in the Fog of War, an allied unit must gain vision over that area.
If an enemy enters the fog of war during the cast time of an ability, the cast gets canceled. However, attacks do not cancel if their targets enter the fog of war during the attack animation.
Elevation[]
Units cannot see areas that are on higher elevations than them.
The Dota 2 map’s cliffs and valleys shape the battle, determining both where units can move and what they can see. Units with ground vision cannot see areas that are on higher elevation than them. For example, a unit standing in the river (which is the on the lowest elevation) cannot see anything past the cliffs surrounding the river, or beyond the ramps leading out of the river.
On the other side, units standing on higher elevation effectively have unobstructed vision on lower elevation. For example, a unit standing on an elevated ward spot can see the entire surrounding, unobstructed by nearby trees, regardless of their vision type.
Units with flying vision do not have their vision obstructed by higher elevations.
Trees[]
Amount of vision blocked by single tree changes based on proximity to it.
Besides blocking pathing, trees also block vision for units on the same elevation as them, and for units one elevation above them. Trees block vision like how objects cast shadows: The closer the object is to the source of light, the bigger and wider the object’s shadow gets. The closer a unit is to a tree, the more vision is blocked by the tree, blocking out an entire section of the circular vision area of the unit. The exact numbers for these are unknown.
The small trees created by Iron Branch, Ironwood Tree, Woodland Striders, and Sprout have a narrower vision blocker than the regular trees on the map.
Units with flying vision do not have their vision obstructed by trees.
Vision Blockers[]
Artificial vision blockers exist at certain locations, which control visibility additionally to the normal rules. All sources of flying vision are unaffected by vision blockers.
Fountain Entrances[]
Both fountains have a vision blocker at their stairs, preventing the enemies of that fountain’s team from seeing into the fountain area from outside. This is normally redundant, since the fountain’s higher elevation already prevents vision, but it also prevents vision from nearby higher-elevation ground, such as the Radiant fountain ward cliff.
Roshan Pit[]
Green tiles can see in, but cannot be seen from inside. Red tiles can see out, but cannot be seen from outside.
Roshan‘s pit is sealed by vision blockers that prevent vision both into and out of the pit.
However, the pit entrance also has phantom spots, areas in which vision is asymmetric. Units standing in these areas can either see into the pit while being unseen from inside, or see out of the pit while being unseen from outside. These may be useful for juking, scouting Roshan attempts, and for hiding wards, most notably Remote Mines. With ground vision, units on phantom spots can only be seen by standing within 3 tiles of them (in rectilinear distance).
In-game, the phantom spots are not marked. To tell when you’ve stepped into a phantom spot, look for a subtle brightning of a small area of ground around you. This indicates you have direct vision of some phantom spot tiles, implying you are in a phantom spot yourself. The right side of the pit entrance has the largest continuous phantom spot, so it is the most forgiving location for this.
Time of Day[]
The current time of day affects vision. Most units’ vision range is shorter at night and higher by day. Exceptions exist, with some units having shorter day vision and longer night vision, and some having the same vision regardless of time.
Base Vision Ranges[]
Most units have day and night vision, only very few have absolutely no vision. These values can be altered with vision bonuses and reductions.

Sources of Vision[]
Units are not the only entities with vision. A lot of abilities are able to create vision cells of varying sizes on the world, revealing an area of a fixed duration.
Caster Vision[]
Caster vision granted over Bane to his enemies for casting Brain Sap on them.
Caster vision is a vision cell granted to the victims of targeted spells and attacks. Whenever a unit casts a spell (except Charge of Darkness) on an enemy within 1800 range, or performs an attack on them, the enemy gains 150 radius ground vision around the casting or attacking unit which lasts for 2 seconds. This vision prevents players from easily and constantly harassing enemies from the fog of war, especially with long-distant spells that can be spammed easily like Arcane Bolt, or with ranged attacks.
Only one of these vision cell can exist per unit. This means if a vision cell already exists from a previous targeted order, performing another targeted order within the previous vision cell’s duration does not create a second vision cell. Instead, the location of the previous vision cell gets updated, its duration gets reset, and its vision type is changed to flying vision.
Caster vision is also applied upon launching an attack. The result of the attack does not matter, if the attack is executed, the vision is granted.
Ground Vision[]
Ground vision is obstructed by trees, higher elevations, and vision blockers.

Exposing[]
Several abilities can expose an enemy’s model through the fog of war, without truly providing vision over them. This means the Fog of War still shrouds their surroundings, but they are visible and targetable as if they were not within the Fog of War. Exposed enemies are treated as visible units by abilities.
Exposing an enemy does not cancel out the effects of invisibility, although it does make their silhouette visible. An exposed invisible enemy has its location revealed, and can even be selected like a visible enemy, but is still almost fully treated as an invisible unit. This means it still cannot be targeted by attacks or single-targeted abilities, and still counts as invisible in terms of abilities affecting them, with very few exceptions. Some sources of exposure also provide True Sight to fully reveal the enemy, but not all do.

Vision interaction with spells[]
Generally, unit-targeted spells require vision over the target, while ground targeted or non-target spells may be cast regardless of vision. Once cast, a spell usually works regardless of vision. Area effects usually do not require vision to affect enemies. Some non-targeted spells that do the targeting themselves may require vision over enemies. There are exceptions to all of these.
The following spells require vision over enemies to affect them
1Requires Aghanim’s Scepter.
2Requires a talent.
3When the current target of these spells die, they choose new targets. Only choose visible enemies.
4 Mana Drain ends immediately if the target enters the fog of war.
5When Starstorm’s initial wave requires vision over enemies, the secondary single projectile does not.
6When Multicast items and Ignite only target visible secondary targets.
Recent Changes[]
