This is for HL2, non-OB engine.

So I have this prop that I've generated. I want to prevent this prop from taking damage from the team that created it, only enemy teams.

I know that you can hook the pre-fire event for player_say and prevent text from being displayed by returning Plugin_Handled. I figured I"d give this a shot with the pre-fire of break_prop.

 HookEvent("break_prop", Event_Breakable_Pre, EventHookMode_Pre);
...
public Action:Event_Breakable_Pre(Handle:event, const String:name[], bool:dontBroadcast)
{
 LogMessage("Hit Breakable");
 PrintToServer("Hit Breakable");
 // surpress the game entered message.
 return Plugin_Handled;
}

I figured, in the code above, I'd pull the TeamNum off the entity and compare it with the TeamNum of the client doing the damage, then just return Plugin_Handled to prevent the breaking from occurruing.

It did not work.

There don't appear to be any generic "hit_prop" events, where I could just up the hp of the prop if it was damaged by a team member.

How do I trap and prevent damage to a prop?

Just hook the OnTakeDamage output on the entity and check the team of the inflictor. If it's the wrong team, set the health of the object back to what it was previously.

That was my first attempt, but I was trying another way to do it. Entity outputs are apparently disabled in FF, I get a "Native "HookSingleEntityOutput" reported: Entity Outputs are disabled" message when I try that.

Looks like the FF gamedata is missing the Signature for FireOutput.

Is that mod.dll specific and I should create a bug-fix request for SourceMod, or is this something I could fix by adding "ff" as a game in the engine.ep1.txt? I'm... unfamiliar with gamedata files.

Guess there is a third option, that this is something the FF dev team would provide SourceMod? Any ideas from the galley?
