Oh, now i see what you mean by owner. You want to save the player's index. Your method should work great, but there might be a better way. The targetname field is a string and can be usefull for linking with other entities (map makers use it all the time).

In HL1 however, we have these extra fields

See if you can find these in HL2 and use them, they are great for storing extra data on entities like this.
