Make sure there is no leak in your level. Make sure you have placed all necessary entities inside the level.

Then it said there was a leak.. so i just put a hollow box around level, thanks anyways...

Read the tutorials at http://www.cse.cuhk.edu.hk/~csc7280/lecture/lecture.htm
Read the edit_# tutorials (e.g. edit_tutorial1.pdf)
It will give you a massive headstart in RFEdit and Pawn scripting (aka NPCs)

That's a bad way to do it, actually. If you place a box around the entire level, the optimization process which showed the leak can't work at all, resulting in backfaces not being removed and bad performance. The better way is to figure out where it's leaking and fix it.

One thing you should know is that doors due to being models are counted as entities, and as such cannot be used to seal leaks. You have to enclose them entirely in brushes.
