How to enable follow player in Dota 2

I have a friend that has Dota 2 and would like to play, but has not really been able to get into the game because he misses the screenlock feature available in other similar games. In other words, he would like the camera to be able to follow his character at all times so he doesn't lose track of what is happening to him by having the camera in a strange location. If you, like him, would like to be able to do this, I'm going to provide the steps right here in this post!

1. Find Dota 2 in your steam games list.
2. Right click Dota 2 and choose "Properties"
3. Click the "Set launch options..." button.
4. Type "-console" in the options if it is not there.
5. Start up Dota 2.
6. If the console window is not showing, press the ` key to get it to show.*
7. Type "dota_camera_lock 1" in the console and press enter.
8. Start a practice game (create lobby) to test it out and make sure it works how you want!

The downside of this method, is you will have to repeat steps 6-7 every time you start the game to turn on camera lock mode. Another method I found allows the F1 key to center in 1 press instead of 2, and you can customize the follow distance for that centering too. If there is interest, I can post those directions as well!
