There is no crime when you just told a friend that you will kill somebody unless there are overt acts.

Little rough on your "friends" aren't you? What are you doing to people who are your enemies???
When you told someone your intention/plan, you began a conspiracy, which is a crime. That the other person wanted no part of your scheme, does not make you any less guilty.
So it becomes a matter for the police to decide how credible your threat is. They get to decide if you really want to kill your friend or were just running your mouth. I suspect if you want to stay out of jail, you should go find this friend and plan on kissing his butt for awhile.

Yes... Plotting to kill someone is a crime..
It must involve at least three people. The person doing the plotting, the person he plots with and the person as the target.
There is also motive, means and opportunity. If you have a reason for wanting to kill someone, and the means or are arranging the means, and have the opportunity or a plan on how to do it....you are guilty.
Sounds to me like you screwed up...

It wasn't a crime until your friends told the cops.

No. But it IS a crime to ask the same question four times.

ought to then you get a gun and kill your pal, the guy you advised (earlier the certainty) is now an adjunct after the certainty because of the fact they knew and took no action to stay away from the crime from going on.

It counts as a murder threat I believe, however, it's how witnesses describe your attitude when you said it that would determine whether or not it's a real crime. Still, it's not exactly something you should go around saying.

It depends on whether or not it is believed that you would do it. You could be charged with menacing, which is making somebody believe your gonna harm them, or you could be charged with inducing panic.

Conspiracy to commit murder or do great bodily harm.
