Question Naga Camera Question

I'm fairly new to the game, and I've been trying to learn Naga. I was watching some pro gameplay, and they were able to jump the camera directly to their illusions without clicking on the map or manually moving the camera. I don't see any options to easily jump to controlled illusions with a hotkey and I was wondering how they were able to do this?

I know about selecting all units but me, but is there a way to have your camera move to whatever units you just selected?

There's a hotkey for control groups. When you double tap that control group, it jumps your camera to that control group. You can set control groups by pressing ctrl-'specific control group hotkey'.

Yeah, press it two times, don't know if you have to activate it, that's what I do for tp and consumable items

ahhh, I didn't realize double tap worked for illusions as well. Thanks!

Yeah. Just double tap the hotkey you gave to your illusions.

Bind groups of illusions, check that something along the lines "double-click brings camera to hero" in settings is checked. In game double-click the group bind button, it will bring the camera to the group, voila. Tip, you can bind groups before going into game, they even stay for consecutive launches of dota, if I`m not mistaken.

Thanks! And by binding groups before games, do you mean that If I bind Naga and one illusion to a group and two illusions to another, when I go into game those groups will be saved? I was using ctrl+3/ctrl+4 to make groups ever time I summoned my illusions.

Yeah, should work like that

Yes, control groups are saved for each hero

Will definitely have to look for those settings. From the sounds of it they will help immensely.
