1. Should i use GetClientUserId or GetClientSerial in code?
Or just using client index?

2. When i need check (0 < client <= MaxClients)?

3. Where should i put the check?

PHP Code:

public OnClientPutInServer(client) {
    if (!IsClientInGame(client)) {
        return;//here?
    }
    Print(client)
}

Print(client) {
    if (!IsClientInGame(client)) {
        return;//or here?
    }
    PrintToChat(client, "hello");
}

Depends on your use requirements.

For map changes, doesn't the UserID change? What about ClientSerial?

Write a quick plugin to log the UserID and ClientSerial and see if both change during map changes.

If ClientSerial doesn't change and you need to track a specific person across maps, you could use that (or just SteamID), but it depends on your specific use requirements.

Did you actually test this?

I have and my testing says you're wrong... user IDs do not change on map changes.

Did you update this Wiki:
https://wiki.alliedmods.net/Introduc...Entity_Indexes

-----------
Although SourceMod fires the OnClientConnected and OnClientDisconnected callbacks every map change, the server tracks players across map changes and does not change their userids or client indexes. To see if a client really connected or disconnected, hook the player_connect and player_disconnect events instead

Oh yeah I guess I only tested retry before.

Yes, I updated that wiki last year between my last two posts in the thread I linked.
