Is it possible to write a script that stops the music at the point you die? I'm making an sp map that would really need a script or alias that can do this.

you could simply toggle the volume of music.

musicvol 0 to turn off.

note: sometimes the music won't come back :P

Warning : when you set musicvol 0, if you set back, you must reload map.
Prefer musicvol 1

just do /playasong command

No, there is no way to stop a song once the player has died.

In Sauerbraten, there is no way to register event responses or anything of that type. There is also no way to know the stats of any player or know what is currently happening with the player in cubescript other than the team name, client number, and a couple other things.

Now, if there is something I have missed in cubescript, please let me know. But I am pretty darn sure there is no way to do this.

Ok i spent a lot of time scripting music:

The playasong command does as following:

calls the music function and plays a rnd song from fantastic/music.

The musicvol 1 mute but not off, musicvol 0 is stopped. to get the music to fade out do the following.

 
fademusic = [
  times = 20
  d = 0
  loop i $times [    
    sleep (* $i $arg1 ) [
      if (= $arg2 "out" ) [ volum = (- 100 (* 5 $d ) )]       
      if (= $arg2 "in"  ) [ volum = (+ 1 (* 5 $d   ) )]            
      musicvol $volum
      d = (+ $d 1 )
    ]
  ]
    sleep (+ $arg1 (* $times $arg1 ) ) [
      if (= $arg2 "in"  ) [ musicvol 101 ]
      if (= $arg2 "out" ) [ musicvol 1   ] 
      
    ] 
]

simply do:
fademusic speed(in millisecond * 21 ) in/out

fademusic 100 "in"
fademusic 100 "out"

hope this helps

Thank you guys very much for the advice, but srbs has put what I am looking for in better terms.

I am supplying my own music so that it fits the theme and the music switches songs and toggles on/off via level triggers and the /music command. My map is also including a modified sounds.cfg and replacement sounds for dying, jumping, etc so that it fits the theme. Because of this, my one dying sound is a short jingle that conflicts with the level music. I can get the music to stop when the player jumps off the cliffs (via triggers) but not when he gets shot down by a monster. I would really not like to replace any of the sounds.

PS. Thank you very much for the cool script chasester!

So, here is an odd solution: You could have a trigger at the respawn points that sound the death sound and then continue/restart the music for that section of the level. One big caveat if that the sound is not when they die, but when they spawn again, which can seem weird.

If you do do the above:
Just be careful to prevent the death sound from playing when a player passes over it while alive. Keep track of when the trigger is activated, as in if the player passes over it twice or more, play the sound. However, this can result in some odd behavior if the player goes backwards or if there is a loop in the map. Maybe you can add some other triggers near the spawn that set some variables to turn the sound "on" and "off" to determine if the player has gone backwards.
Another idea is to prevent the player from going backwards and make them fall a small distance, or make the area around the respawn point one-directional.
