Spawnboxes for Radiant

Spawnboxes for Dire

You will need at least one Skybox and one displaced brush in order to make a functioning map.

Non-Critical Entities

info_player_start_dota
Spawnbox for players in custom games

Custom Entities

These entities are tied to the gamemechanics, such as runes.

dota_item_rune_spawner
This entity spawns runes on given grid point.
It is cruical to fill in 'Name' with 'dota_item_rune_spawner' in order to fully work. Without given name it doesn't spawn runes.
ent_dota_tree
Used to place working trees with proper ent_fow_blocker_node and cutable with Tangoes or a Quelling Blade.
The models from the Dota-Files are confusing. The only models for the Dire with proper animations and a tree-stump are: dire_tree004.mdl dire_tree004b.mdl dire_tree007.mdl dire_tree008.mdl
In order to show up correctly you have to add following Key:Value: body:1
