Starcraft – What happens if you force field but there’s no more room

Starcraft 1 has a different psionic storm than Starcraft 2, so I'll only be answering Starcraft 2

It is 80 damage spread out over 4 seconds. Psionic storm is true damage and is not reduced by abilities or armor. Any unit caught under the storm (friendly or otherwise) will take 80 damage if it remains for the full duration. Its worth noting that Zerg units at full health will regenerate 1 HP when first hit. Storms do not stack. Any unit under a storm gains the storm effect. It is this effect which conveys the damage. You can only have 1 storm effect at a time on a given unit.

Depending on your army composition running through storms is often recommended you run from storms. Because there is a slight animation delay (1.5 seconds) you can negate a large portion of the damage if you act quickly.

Storms only hurt units. Units inside bunkers or carriers or other transport are unaffected.

Storms have a range of 8.25 to 9.75 as they have a radius of 1.5. Smart cast means the closest templar will energy will cast the storm.

StarCraft is partially a game of processing information. Multitasking is one of the main skills you improve while playing.

First, you need to use hotkeys. Use them to quickly get information on production status and jump to different groups.

With SC2, hotkeys can bind to multiple buildings or groups and you can use the Tab key to tab between them. Personally, for Terran, 1 is for command centers, 2 is used for my initial initial scouting SCV and then for general unit usage, 3 is always barracks, 4 is always starports and factories. 5 through 8 become groups of units in the mid- and late-game.

The above scheme lets you tap 3 and 4 to see production status of the army. Do this and, if you don't see white dots underneath the green building icon in the bottom console, start building something. (What to build is another discussion.) Cycle between your hotkeys to move units and check on production status.

Don't forget that double-tapping hotkeys takes you to the group, Ctrl and a number assigns the group, and Shift and a number adds units or buildings to the group.

Next, you really, really need to pay attention to audio cues in the game. Make sure to turn the music off so you can hear them more clearly.

Finally, note that Space takes you to where the action is. Did you year "Our units are under attack?" Hit space, and you'll be taken to the action. Or maybe you'll remember which hotkey you assigned that group and you can double-tap it.

Hope that helps :)
