I apologise i am wrong, but from what ive seen (looking through the forrums, using the search potion), noone has made any post explaining how character repeat delay affects ingame abilities. Also, i am happy that this is helping. It sure drove me crazy when i kept on accidentally targeting enemy units while forcefielding. | ||

Otherwise you can have some epic fail late forcefields. This also works pretty well for psi storm. f first then shift for placement works without hitting s i believe, id have to test. | ||

This will affect all sentries not engaged in combat, and possibly one sentry that is in combat (if it is the closest to the region you have selected for forcefield). The remaining sentries in combat will not have had the forcefield order applied to them. | ||

The sentries out of combat will cast forcefields, but the sentries that are in range of enemy units will NOT CAST FORCEFIELDS using a shift command The reason they wont is: A shift command orders your units to perform the selected action AFTER they have finished their current action. Even though pressing S will clear their command queue, they will INSTANTLY re-engage nearby enemy units, making shift commands ineffective when casting forcefields unless sentries are out of combat, in which case they generally wont be very effective anyways | ||

I find that using abilities like snipe and EMP kind of a burden >.< with all this e click e click etc etc and the same applies to snipe. As stated in the very first sentence of the post: "Everything discussed in this article also applies to other abilities that require you to target terrain or other units, such as EMP or Transfusions" | ||

You must have lost many games by not being able to throw down any forcefields As i stated before, shift commands will not work when throwing down forcefields when your sentries are in combat I guess i will have to edit this into the OP... | ||
