Sink lower the building controller of the BArracks for example into the structure itself in Level Editor. http://www.renhelp.co.uk find a map tut and it will explain better.

He's asking how the structures are recognized, as in "point at the building and it has a targeting bracket."

That involves placing the respective building controller in the preset list for the structure you want to use. It has to be on, or near, the structure in question for Renegade to realize what it is and apply damages\animations accordingly.

Hmm didn't Dante just point out in his tutorial that building controllers don't actually have to be stuck into the mesh of the building?

To cut a very long story short and avaoid all of my things I would say about doing this, you need to read some tutorial, but it basically invloves naming the meshes for the interior and ones for the exterior using a prefix. For example "MNPWG^Roof" where NMPWR is the prefix and "^" is the type indicator, for interior meshes you use "#" such as "MNPWR#Ceiling" with that done, you export to Leveledit as terrain and then modify a building controller to use the prefix you chose.

Note: You cannot use the same prefix for both teams or you will have a "clone" of your building in the game and will cause problems. Westwood used "MN" for Nod and "MG" for GDI, followed by a short name, such as "PWR" for power plant, do not exceed more than 17 characters in naming the whole mesh, the prefix should remain short.
