I dont think theres a 'trigger on player death' item in HL mapping.
However, you may want to consider using trigger_changetarget to make sure that the special ending visuals are not triggered.

You CAN trigger things when the player dies afaik.
Read here:

Basically, give an entity the name game_playerdie, and it will fire when the player dies. You can then use that to run logic that will return the player to the menu, or any other scripting you have in mind.

That entity could be a game_end or something that distorts the player's view.

thank..but being more specific:
I need to stop a multi_manager with its text entities from flowing whenever the player dies (single-player).
Some detailed procedure ?

Perhaps a trigger_relay that kills the multi_manager? I've never tried stopping a multi_manager, so I'm just assuming you can.

If killing the multi manager directly with a relay doesn't stop it, then kill the entities that the multi_manager targets.
Alternately, set up a unique relay as an intermediary between the multi_manager and each of its targets, and kill those relays to stop the logic.

Thank Dallas I'll try with your method.. but what entity should I use ?! Even a monster ?
So I name an entity "game_playerdie" and make it fire a trigger_endsection that points to main menu.. ok ?

I would possibly just fade the screen out in black with a message saying you failed.
Don't force it back to the main menu as it might turn into frustration.

Help: I named the entity item_security to game_playerdie and made it target to a trigger_endsection as suggested ..but nothing happens when player dies.
Should I use the target or fire command in entity property ?

Did you enter a section name in the secton property of the trigger_endsection entity? If you leave it empty nothing will happen. Type in _oem_end_logo in the section property and the game should end and bring you back to the main menu when triggered.

Yes the trigger_endsection works (I've tested)
Issue is with the game_playerdie entity.. what entity should I use ?(item_security did not work)

Use a trigger_multiple.

Do you really need another entity? Have you tried naming the trigger_endsection "game_playerdie"?

trigger_multiple did not work either(i've used its target field)
nothing left to try.. sigh
I'm forced to change the structure of my mod so the player never dies !
