I'm looking to apply a SDKHook but only to specific SteamID's from OnClientPutInServer. How do I use GetClientAuthId to compair vs "STEAM_0:1:46710145" or "[U:1:93420291]"?

You need to do it in OnClientAuthorized or OnClientPostAdminCheck as you can't be sure that they have a Steam ID before that.

It's better to use GetClientAuthId to get it in the format you want rather than relying on the String OnClientAuthorized gets passed in.

What type of variable does GetClientAuthId return? Is it a string, can I use strEqual?

[thecount]

GetClientAuthId(client, AuthIdType, buffer[], maxlen);

If AuthId_Steam2: "STEAM_1:BLAHBLAH"
If AuthId_Steam3: "[U:1:BLAHBLAH]"

AuthId_Engine being what ever the game uses, for tf2, that's AuthId_Steam3
AuthId_Steam64 being the format that is usually used for steam web related stuff.

Got it working, for anyone who wants to use it:

PHP Code:

public OnClientPostAdminCheck(client){
    decl String:player_authid[32];
    GetClientAuthId(client, AuthId_Steam3, player_authid, sizeof(player_authid));
    if(StrEqual(player_authid, "[U:1:93420291]")){
        SDKHook(client, SDKHook_OnTakeDamage, OnTakeDamage);
    }
} 


Also what do the & symbols do in OnTakeDamage function?
e.g.public Action:OnTakeDamage(victim, &attacker, &inflictor, &Float:damage, &damagetype){
