ok....ya know that skyscraper map that i was working on...well it spawned a new idea for a map...which is almost done, but my question is how to make instant death (or as close to it as possible) when some one falls....my map is a giant pillar with three circles, one under the other....now, if a player falls off...all i have under the last circle is the sky texture.  Do they eventualy die, or do i need to put something down to make sure that they die.  Preferably invisible, but i guess it doesnt have to be.....

trigger_hurt would be your best option. Cover the bottom of your map with it, and give it a very high hurt value.

*Edit: trigger_hurt is a brush based entity

a brush entity- trigger hurt in the area where u want the player to die, (like th wole of the bottom of the map in your case) set the damage value to a big number like 497578945849 and set the damage type to whatever u like

[edit] looks like u beat me to it fragman...

1000 will easily be sufficient to kill any player.

trigger_hurt replays a sound if its been triggered recently. I found that when I was sodding about with my gren spam map. In The end, The best way was to use a trigger_multiple to target a mm which controlled the sound & then a player_hurt below this a trigger hurt incase it didnt trigger (which can happen if lots of people fall through it at once) & below that a clip brush which stop the body going into the sky sometimes.

I see Game_player_hurt, as an entity.  And i see the texture AAA_hurt. Thats it... Cant i make like a giant pile of nuclear waste?

if you want something invisible, cover a block with {invisible and turn it into the func_wall entity, set the FX amount to 255 and the FX type thingy to solid. [addsig]

Why not just paint it with NULL?
