Hey, is it just me or does anyone else ever had that problem?
Ive just had it for the maybe 4th time since I play sc2 that I just cant forcefield o.O I again lost a game cause of that because I couldnt make a single forcefields at a big midgame battle. Im damned sure I had the sentries selected and pressed the right key for ffs, but it just didnt spawn.
Even my oppos always noticed it that I seemed like I was confused^^

Its really, really f****d up, believe me, when you lose games cause you just cant spawn FFs... -_-

Anyone some ideas why this should be and how I can avoid it in the future? Any settings or stuff like that out there?

The only thing I can think of is when you get a big deathball and engage in a fight there are so many units that the sentries can't get to where they need to be. So when you hit FF they are out of range and either can't get into range or take like 20 secs trying to get there. So yeah multiple hotkeys ^^.

Are you more thinking it is a bug though ? Could be some lag/latency issues ?

Well, I also first thought about the thing, that the sentries may not be in range or stuff like that. And it wasnt the problem as it happened first, I just thought I missclicked the hotkey or something like that.
But now as it has happened some more times, I realy start to think its maybe some other problem. It feels like the game suddenly forgets the hotkey for ff^^ Cause I cant say that the games were laggy, I didnt feel any other latency, so...

If you have different units with abilities in the same control group then one type of unit always gets priority and you have to tab through to use the abilities of the other types of unit. Could it be that you have HTs or something in the same control group who get priority over the sentries?

Yeah definitely best to have Sentrys on there own hotkey..but besides that..any chance your opponent had a unit that was just walking over the FF's as you tried to place them down?

lol
Well, Im 100% sure I didnt try to ff massive units, and I always have one cntrl group only for zealots and sentries, so I will never have the problems of having to tab through the abilities cause of that.
Maybe it was really that they were placed unhappily or were stuck and I didnt notice. Although it kinda felt different to me than just the delay till they are in range, but theres nothing to change about that anyways, so... ;)
But thanks for your help guys :)
