We don't have sb_all_bot_team set to 1 but our bots in our VS server still move out.

Will this plugin still stop that?

Just recently I do not have sb_all_bot_team set to 1 as well.
I removed this plugin from my server thinking I wouldn't need it anymore and I experienced the same situation as you have. The bots for some reason still move out sometimes.
I added the plugin again and everything is fine. So to answer your question, Yes this will stop the bots from doing anything regardless of what sb_all_bot_team is set to.

Awesome, so just to comfirm, once this is installed and enabled with default values, bots will not move for 40 seconds or untill a human player joins?

Correct, more precisely until a human player is fully connected, in game, and moves.

Sometimes I don't remember to do 'rcon quit' and I end up with 20mb log files, because sb_all_bot_team won't let the server hibernate.

Are you planning on doing something like this?

No, not for this plugin because it is not its purpose to manage that. Also the plugin that enables sb_all_bot_team should also be used to disable it. Are you using the L4D2 score/team manager? If so just add a timer on the empty server check so it sets sb_all_bot_team back to 0 thus going into hibernation.

A more easier way to create a plugin like this is to stop the bots on mapstart, and then start them 5 seconds after a real player has spawned in game.
You don't need to stop the bots on roundstart, becuase then it stops the bots on 2nd round start aswell which is totally useless becuase this bug only happens on first round.
This is basicly all you need to prevent a bot from leaving safe room before you've spawned.

#include <sourcemod>

public OnPluginStart()
{  
    HookEvent("player_first_spawn", Event_PlayerFirstSpawn, EventHookMode_Post);
}

public OnMapStart()
{
    SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sb_move"), 0);
}

public Event_PlayerFirstSpawn(Handle:hEvent, const String:strName[], bool:bDontBroadcast)
{
    CreateTimer(5.0, Timer_StartBots);
}

public Action:Timer_StartBots(Handle:timer)
{    
    SetConVarInt(FindConVar("sb_move"), 1);
}

I always had trouble with spawn events not always firing thus being unreliable. The method I use always works and I use it for other personal scripts as well.

Never had any problems myself with the spawn events.
I even spawn additonal survivor bots on spawn event and that has never been a problem. It was just a suggestion

Is anyone using this on coop servers with bebop? I noticed that bots don't do anything anymore, they will go through the map, but they won't shoot or melee infected at all.
