Is there an event for when the Engineer hits a friendly building? I want to change the amount it upgrades by (from 25).

net_showevents 2 doesn't show anything

If you want to change it globally just change the cvar tf_obj_upgrade_per_hit

If you want to do it per player you can use the attribute "upgrade rate decrease" with a positive value(IE 1.6 = 40 per hit, 2.0 = 50 per hit, 3.0 = 75 per hit, etc).

As far as detecting when an engineer hits a friendly building, it's possible it still fires OnTakeDamage even though the damage is 0, though that's just a guess.

I wanted to make the amount dependent on other variables and parts in the code.

Check distance and keys

See if SDKHook_TraceAttack works in TF2 and for melee weapons and check if the hit entity is an obj_* ? or just do a trace on CalcAttackIsCritical

CalcAttackIsCritical is fired whenever you swing/fire a weapon, even when you don't hit anything.

On a side note, SDKHooks_TakeDamage is fired even when you hit allies... although it may be blocked before the Post hook fires.

Is there any way I can set upgrade progress with it?

U can only set lvl of building via defaultupgrade kv

for upgrade progress u should check this netprops:

m_iUpgradeMetal
m_iUpgradeMetalRequired

you can perhaps hook the building for ontakedamage, probably melee hits register

Damage when taken from ent on the same team will do no dmg at all

Checkout robo-sapper 2 source I used get client weapon distance buttons etc to detect melee hit
