The AddOutput output in Hammer uses the syntax : <key> <value> or <output name> <target name>:<input name>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire (-1 == infinite)> to be used in the parameters field of the output

Example 1

Format: <key> <value>

{
"classname" "prop_physics"
"targetname" "prop01"
.
.
.
"OnHealthChange" "!self,AddOutput,targetname prop9001"
} 

This changes the target name of the prop. In this case, it is changing it's own name, so !self == prop01.

Format: <output name> <targetname>:<inputname>:<parameter>:<delay>:<max times to fire, -1 means infinite>

{
"classname" "tf_logic_auto"
.
.
.
"OnMapSpawn" "team_round_timer_red,AddOutput,OnFinished game_round_win:RoundWin::0:-1,0,-1"
}

This adds an output to an entity with the targetname "team_round_timer_red".

Example 2

trigger_multiple

Name: Ghost

Outputs

My output named: OnEndTouch

Targets entities named: !activator

Via this input: Alpha

With a parameter override of: 255

After a delay in seconds: 0.10

My output named

OnStartTouch

Targets entities named: !activator

Via this input: AddOutput

With a parameter override of: rendermode 1

After a delay in seconds: 0.00

My output named

OnStartTouch

Targets entities named: !activator

Via this input: Alpha

With a parameter override of: 120

After a delay in seconds: 0.00

This will make the player half invisable when standing in the trigger_multiple (OnStartTouch) and visable again when not in the trigger_multiple (OnEndTouch).
