Okay, just to clarify on the death counter loops, im gonna make an example.
I have a loop thats 208.12 seconds long.
Every hyper triggers fires 11.9 times per second.
Therefore || 11.9(triggers) x 208.12(seconds) = 2477(deaths) ||
Now I run my death count loop and it goes as follows:
Conditions: -Death of 'unit' is 0
Actions: -Play 'wav'
-Preserve Trigger
Conditions: -Always
Actions: -Add 1 death to 'unit'
-Preserve trigger
Conditions: -Player suffers exactly 2477 deaths of 'unit'
Actions: -Set death count of 'unit' to 0
-Preserve trigger
Just making sure if this is right.
Edit: HOLY CRAP! THIS LAGS THE
OUTTA THE GAME 
is it suppose to lag that bad??

I don't know, I've never used death counters as Music Loop, just switchs =/
You know if your caculation is correct its right.

If you read my post http://www.staredit.net/index.php?showtopi...ndpost&p=105275. Then that should be about correct. However, you should round the numbers to the nearest whole number and it will give you a better estimate at what the number of deaths you need. I find rounding to be better then, multiplying your numbers then round the answer to be incorrect.
If you rounded, it should be 12*208 = 2496 deaths.
I have tried it with a 378 second muisic clip and it didn't lag even once.
Your problem might be that the first trigger. Since the game starts out with 0 death counts on all units. Your play wav is being fired so many time before 1 death is added that it lags up the game. You should probably try the way I have it posted in the link above.
