select... for... computer?

WHY!?!?!?!?

A selection only works for your own computer.
You will never know which units I have selected (except that you see me controlling them).
A computer does not give right click orders... does not have to click in the buttons... does not have to watch unit's health bars... a computer does NOT need selection of units.
In fact... a computer doesnt even have a HUD... probably.

So now back to my question: WHY!?!?!?!?

becouse i have a triggers based on player select unit to fire some actions, if i can not issue select command i need to duplicate the triggers to simulate this selection, which is SAD
 
In my closed version of Slalom Wars, I made an AI for computers (AOS Styled), and a default Melee AI also run there. From what I can gather up, since my map utilize Legal Ease's Custom Selection Model Mark (replacing the circle below units), I can see wether a unit being selected or not.

In my tests, I never see any of the AI unit has this special mark on their units unless I SELECT THEIR UNITS, which means they never select their units at all. Goes for AOS and Melee AI.
Damn right they're cheating!
