I'm really close to having an alpha map ready for testing, but one of the last things I need is a death pit.

I have no clue how to make death pits and can't find any tutorials that correspond. If anyone could link me to a kill trigger/death pit whatever tutorial from here or elsewhere, that'd be awesome.

Even better if it had a really simple explanation and someone just explained it in this thread. That'd also be awesome.

Thanks in advance.

I see nothing wrong with asking here, considering he claims what he claims.

how long could he have possibly looked for if googling this threads title and "hammer editor" yields the answer as the first result?

For what it's worth, you should get in the habit of studying decompiled Valve maps when you have questions. Discovering something yourself is often the best way to learn something. You can download decompiled official maps from Cynx's thread here, or you can decompile them yourself using BSPSrc.

Quick tip when making deathpits: make sure you set "Zero Damage Force" to "Yes". This stops ragdolls from shooting up into the air and cartwheeling when they die.

It's not mandatory but it bugs me. :l
"Oh, you fell into this deathpit? Worry no longer son, here, have a rocket up your rear and soar trough the sky!"
