Trees



Trees are a prominent terrain feature in Dota 2. They make up a large amount of the map and are very prominent in the forests that separate the lanes and border the map. Trees block vision and are normally impassable.

Mechanics
Trees cannot be targeted by normal attacks and most abilities, except for a handful of abilities (e.g. ).

Despite the varying appearance and apparent size of the various trees, all permanent trees have an block size of a x unit square.


 * Strictly speaking, trees do not have collision size. They are driven by the clip mesh like impassable terrain, affecting the navigation grid square it contacts.

The console command to respawn all destroyed trees on the map is  (requires cheats to be turned on).

Respawn Time
Trees regrow minutes after they were destroyed except if a unit is standing within  range of where they would spawn. In this case, the tree respawns once the unit gets out of range. This is to prevent the unit from getting stuck in the trees.

Each tree has a  classname in the map entity file. There are currently 2357 trees in the map since. The has a total of 8 different types of assorted Bamboo Tree, Oak Tree, and Pine Tree in use, with a total of 1215 trees; while the  has 3 types of trees currently in use, with a total of 1142 trees.

Tree-Walking

Planted Trees
Besides the naturally occurring trees on the map, some abilities can plant trees that usually last a limited amount of time. These trees have several differences from the regular trees on the map.

Planted trees have a smaller collision size and block less vision than regular trees.
