Dota2 Attack move click

[Spooky]

So im a league player who wants to try out dota 2 but it simply cannot be done without the attack move click function which lol offers. This is the same as pressing A and then clicking on the ground but but like with sort of a"quick cast" just pressing A and thats it... Is this possible to get in dota2? cause i simply cant play without it...

It is the same thing in dota, hold A and click where you want to go. Your character will attack anything that it meets along the way.

edit: It may be shift + A.

Autoattacking is 98% of times bad habit in dota.

What i mean is no shifting or clicking other than simply pressing A once to issue the command. Its useful for orbwalking especially when playing ranged carries.

so nobody really knows? im stunned over why dota does not have this function, ive been looking up and down the hotkey page over and over but its just not there... why? Even heroes of the storm has this option!

there is autoattack so whenever you are still you attack, combine that with using hold instead of stop as your "S" bind? I think that will give you the effect you are looking for. At least for range heroes. Hold command instead of Stop command should let your character keep firing. Disclaimer: this is a terrible habit that makes your lane push, feeding tons of resources to the hard lane enemy core, who is probably their team-fighter or initiator and can snowball off that to destroy you in the mid game. Your team may not know why they lost but a whole game can literally be won or lost because someone attacked creeps too often in dota.

Nononononono, you are clearly not understandting what i mean. Its just the same as pressing the A button which is attack move by default and clicking with your mouse, but just minus the mouse click, so you get the A (attack position) without having to do the extra mouse click.

Think of it as turning on quick cast, you just press Q and theres the fire breath or whatever, no need to click with the mouse, just the same, attack position where im hovering without clicking.

now, i know i can get around it by using razor synapse to make a macro that instantly clicks after pressing A, this is how i got around the same problem in heroes of the storm and it was super annoying, lucky for me they added the function to the game just before launch...

and i just cant get my head around dota2 which is overly complicated when it comes to everything esle not having this function... Ive been googling a fair bit now, and it seems u can do some sort of console trick, like adding a file with a command or something, but why must i use hours of researching basic stuff which should be in the options tab from the beginning. I havent even passed the tutorials yet and im alrdy pissed at this game, sure its a moba it gets ppl pissed, but damn thats fast...

[Skeena]

I think you are looking for the smart cast option.

[Spooky]

no, i found the smart cast, its easy to find, its actually there...

[Spooky]

the problem is that none of you knows what orb walking or animantion canceling is. And how the A click (minus the click) really helps in kiting effectively.

// Single click force attack
// This sets force attack / attack move to the current cursor location
alias "singleforce" "mc_attack; +sixense_left_click; -sixense_left_click"
bind "x" "singleforce" // set "x" to your desired key

Need to put that (or similar) into you autoexec.cfg. Doesn't work in Reborn.

^yea i saw something like that before
I cant get it to work however... but ive basically given up by now... Dota2 isent for me.

if you have to manually add functions like that, also there was other usefull stuff like range indicators you could add, but this is like wow addons, just much much worse... in my eyes this is an incomplete game.

Well thank you all, you tried, you failed... Goodbye.

We failed because you couldn't get the easiest of scripts to work.......LMAO

haha, does league even let you add custom keys like this? Adding this line of code to your files is so easy.
