No, they dont. you are making it so they get 0 points for moving, say, a dispenser up to where a heavy can use it, rather than leaving it back beside some sentry gun in a flag room.
What im saying is, you are altering the scoring system and essentially nerfing the engineers contrary to the way valve first intended (your perogative) - However - if you are tracking stats with code and timestamps, perhaps you should introduce a counting and timer feature (ie. 5 mins since the built their last dispenser, so they will get points for building this one - 15 second intervals between builds, award no points) As opposed to assuming every engineer who plays the game properly is a stats padding cheater.
