how to make computer controled players not use a slot?

The only reason they are different is because GUI uses a Converted player number so that it's easier to understand.

I'll discuss this in terms of 12, 13, 14, and 15 for clarification.
Players 12 and 15 are generally unusable, they have their own hardwired AI attached to them.
12 is Neutral Hostile and 15 is Neutral Passive, which should be rather self explanatory.

The other two, however, can be put to a very good use.
In many AoS maps these days, you can see the game is 6v6, and yet the computers still exist.
This is because Neutral Victim and Neutral Extra are being used.
(Players 13 and 14 respectively)

Use Neutral Victim, Neutral Extra

At Map Intilization

set first 6 players to ally/shared vision to Neutral Victim
and visa versa

Set last 7-12 player enemy to Neutral Victim
and visa versa

Then do opposite with Neutral Extra.
