Hey guys I have a quick question, I was wondering if I can use my alarm output for more than one use? For example starter kill, window roll up?

Define alarm output.
Are you talking about NEG aux outputs?
If so then yes of course.

Amateurs assume, don't test and have problems; pros test first. I am not a free install service.
Read the installation manual, do a search here or online for your vehicle wiring before posting.

The starter kill output of the alarm has ground on it the entire time that the alarm is armed. As long as your window control module is good with a constant ground, you will be fine. If not, you will need to try and find a diagram that will convert the constant to a pulse without flattening (For Howie) your battery.

That would be good for window closers such as the DEI 429t and 530t but not for a remote start, you would need a momentary output.
What alarm?

So use this diagram, a 1N4004 diode and a 5 pin Bosch/Tycho cube type automotive relay.
The orange wire in the diagram would be your armed output.
