So I'm checking to see if an entity that was created is owned by a client. Is this the best way to do this?

PHP Code:

public void OnEntityCreated(int entity, const char[] classname) {
    int client;
    client = GetEntPropEnt(entity, Prop_Data, "m_hOwnerEntity");
    if (client >= 1 && client <= MaxClients && IsClientInGame(client)) {
        if (IsValidEntity(entity)) {
            // Stuff
        }
    }
}

You should check it after the entity has spawned, if you check before it may not have been set.

Sdk hook on spawned from on entity created.

On the spawned callback check for the owner.

That worked, thanks.

In fact, at creation time, it's guaranteed to not have a value set as that's before the game has populated any attributes on it.

A great example of this is the common infected in L4D2, you can't get their model OnEntityCreated, so as a rule of thumb, unless it is absolutely necessary I just create a 1 second timer and then do whatever it is that needs done with said entity.

Why use a timer. You should hook spawned on entity created.

Using a timer may get the same problem if it fires before spawn is dispatched by the game / plugin.

Not really, timer is little bit slower and thats why works better

*edit
RequestFrame works also tough

Actually, there are times when the game spawns an object then sets the properties of it on the next frame. OnRequestFrame would also fix that, but it wasn't available until SourceMod 1.6.
