ok, here we go and I dont know why I havent asked before:

1-- when you make music on your map, can it be a .mp3 or does it HAVE to be .wav?

2-- when I make a trigger_kill and set the dmg to -1 it just adds one health to the guy really fast until he hits the ground and dies. why?

1 - can be either
2 - -1 is for fall damage, best for pits.

yeah, I put -1 but it just adds health to him, bo black, no kill, no anything but adding health

:edit: oh yeah, and do you need to apply tthe music to all the brushes or just one?

I just realised there is no trigger_kill....where did that come from?

Make a brush, cover it in the system/trigger texture, right click and turn it into trigger_hurt. Set dmg to -1 to cause fade death.

Are you doing this in single player? If that's the case there is a spawnflag FALLING and you set a key/value called count to determine how long it should last.

Send me a test map of what you're doing, if you can just re-create the problem in a box room so I can see why it keeps failing for you. Send to wade[at]stargatemods.com

I just compiled that map without changing it and it worked, instant death via falling and the screen fading to black. You are compiling this in GTK with it set to Jedi Academy right?

Actually, yesterday when I posted the above, I went into radiant and was looking around and checked the project settings to see about the paths and such to make sure it was JA (like wade said) and I saw I WAS set to SP instead of MP, I think my brother might have gotten on and messed around with stuff or something, so anyways, sorry, I tell you if it works when I bsp..
