Is there a force field bug? A force field covered my tank so my SCV couldnt repair it during a battle. Or is this normal.
if its the sentry force field to block off stuff it shouldnt be able to cover any unit. If its the giant forcefield to they make to block incoming ranged shots then again it shouldnt be on your tank and things should pass through it. Now what you might be experiencing is neither, but the stasis ward trap from the oracle. in which case that would cover your tank in stasis and prevent it from being repaired.
it was the sentry’s force field that covered the tank, which then forced SCVs off the tank and unable to repair. But the tank could still take damage from protoss ranged units.
i you sure it wasnt just walled off from the force fields. never seen it be able to actually cover a unit.
Force Field creates a space that units are not allowed to travel
Siege Tanks that are currently Sieged cannot be moved; so they are not subjected to the displacement that normally occurs when a force field is emplaced on top of a unit.
It’s not a bug, but it is a weird consequence of the Siege Mode / Force Field interaction.

is it because of the new abduct mechanics, cause ive never seen a unit be able to be forcefeilded over like what op describes. not in pro games not in random games ive played nor anything else ive seen.
No; it’s worked that way since Wings of Liberty. Sieged Tanks are an awkward intersection between unit (ie movable) and structure (ie immovable).
It’s also why if you put like 10 sieged tanks in a clump units stop being able to walk through the middle, for example.

Yes, so if the Force Field is between the SCV and the tank, it’s obvious that the SCV cannot reach it to repair it.
Maybe visually is just a space but there is a force field (=invisible wall)
