Select unit for computer player does not work

[JollyD]

I had a problem with selecting unit for a computer player.
So is it possible to select unit for computer player or it is intended to be impossible?

Computer never selects unit
I recall using abilities for spotting this and it proves that computer never select any unit at all.

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

But you are not supposed to know when a unit of another player is selected...
Everything that would happen should only happen locally.

If you want some global effect... you indeed have to do something else.

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!

If that was always the case double click/click based hero selection systems wouldn't exist without proper syncing, and this thread wouldn't exist too.
