# Cheat commands

> Debug and cheat commands available after cheat mode is enabled by a unanimous player vote.

Cheat commands grant powerful in-game effects for testing builds, debugging, or playing casually. They are only available after the lobby votes to enable cheat mode.

## Enabling cheat mode

Type `-enablecheat` (or `-ec`) in chat to start a vote. **All players must accept** before cheat mode is enabled. Once active, a global announcement confirms the change and the cheat panel becomes visible in the HUD.

Single-player mode and lobbies running with `sv_cheats` enabled on the server also unlock these commands without a vote.

<Warning>
  Cheat mode cannot be disabled once enabled. Use it only in casual lobbies where all players agree.

## Targeting other players

Most cheat commands apply to your own hero. To apply a cheat to a different player, append `#<playerID>` anywhere in your message:

```
-gold 50000 #3
```

This gives 50,000 gold to the player with ID 3. Use `-pid` to look up player IDs before doing this.

## Notes

* All commands are case-insensitive.
* Commands in the cheat section only execute when `util:isSinglePlayerMode()` returns true, when `Ingame.voteEnabledCheatMode` is true, or (for some commands) when `IsInToolsMode()` is true.
* Some commands behave differently or are disabled entirely when the server has native `sv_cheats` or tools mode active, to avoid conflicts with Valve's built-in cheat system.
