How do you add to a player's score...

I believe the game_score entity will allow you to add to add to a players score in whatever increment you specify.
I've also used it to add to a teams score, but in TF2 CTF games it doesn't appear to update the HUD, only the scoring screen you see when you press TAB.

according to other postings and the open letter to valve:
"The game_score entity currently does not alter individual player scores, only team scores, making it difficult to correctly reward players completing custom objectives."
So theres no work around or am I screwed?

You're on the right track Pseudo. Heres what I did. I had a func_capturezone tied to the main CP. When capped, I had a relay temporarily enable a trigger_capture area which capped an invisible CP like you suggested. Worked fine on the test CP. However, when I multiplied that for all 5 CPs, TF2 started crashing. I believe there is a limit of 8 CPs in the game. FYI.
So the final solution I came up with is having the trigger_capture_area tied directly to the main CPs (no invisible ones). So a flag carrier walks into the func_capturezone, which triggers a relay that temporaily enables the trigger_capturearea (set to a 0.01 second capture) which then captures the CP. Phew! Seems to work 95% of the time, but I have yet to test it in gameplay. One drawback I already see is that any other teammate standing on the CP will get credit for the cap too. But I can live with that.
So this solved my dillema with crediting people for capping CPs in an Attack/Defend style map. I still need to figure out how to give points for destroying the enemy control room.

You would only need one invisible CP because you can have multiple trigger_capture_area tied to a single CP. You could then use the SetTeam input to reset the CP to neutral (or whichever team). For destroying a control room, I guess you could just do the same thing and give points to anyone in the room when it was destroyed.
