hia!

ok ive done it before and it might help u too:
go to the unit editor and select the unit u want as the flamethrower.

edit its attack range to almost 0 (40-50 will do i think), edit its effect art to be a flamethrower doodad which is found in spawned doodad or however it is called :roll: and by triggers do that if a unit is attacked by the flamethrower then pick all enemy units in range XXX to attacked unit, paste a visual effect on then and reduce their health.
WALLA!!

hope ive helped
GOOD NIGHT!!

The flame thrower thing is in effects and there are not many things in effects so it won't be hard to find. I don't want you to keep searching in doodads so i just wanted to tell you that the flame thrower is in effects. Also you may not even have to use triggers for this because u can simply change the attack to siege and add area of effect damage and targets. To make sure all units are hit u change maximum targets to 99999 or whatever and splash range and distribution help where u want to put the effect and damage. :wink:

you could as well use a shortened version of Shockwave (tauren chief) in combination with a trigger that turns the Caster in the direction of the target point and creates the flamethrower specialeffect at the pos of the caster you could also use carrion swarm or breath of fire instead of shockwave but with the wave u got the cool landscape rumble ^^
