How to enable cheats?

[silver cradle]

I have cheats enabled like so

function barebones:InitGameMode()
  GameRules:IsCheatMode()
end

they work if i start my game through the VConsole and workshop
but after I uploaded my game to workshop and play test it in the Dota2 Client cheats don't work.

Why?

[earnest coral]

that function does not enable cheats

Found 1 function for ischeatmode

🇸 🇨 CDOTAGameRules:IsCheatMode(): bool
Are cheats enabled on the server.

[earnest coral]

cheats work in tools mode because you are the server host

to enable cheats you need to use the console command sv_cheats 1 on the server

or, when making the lobby you can tick the checkbox that enables cheats

[vital maple]

lobby needs a password if you want to enable cheats

Eh somehow, when i choose local host server, and cheat enabled with password. When i type svcheat in console the output like "cant change server convar bla bla.."

[earnest coral]

yes, its a server only command.
but the check box when you are making the lobby enables it on the server. you dont need to use sv_cheats 1 if its already enabled

when you use local host in the normal dota client your pc is both the server and client, but the ingame console you use is for the client only

[cinder nebula]

also, the prefix sv_ denotes a server command

Ah i see, ty for that info

I wonder if SendToServerConsole('sv_cheats 1') then, I'll try.

Try use SetConvar instead, like Convar:SetInt( "sv_cheats", 1 ).
This works when altering such values:
