How to make Gryphon Rider/Dragon attack like in Warcraft 2?

When the Dragon attack, a line of explosion is created. And an explosion will deal 8-16 damage. How to make this possible in Warcraft 3?

Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Just make a custom projectile with dummy units. Add exp timer to dummies and add an immolation spell. Order them to turn on immolation and KABAM !!!

YOU HAVE YOUR STUFF :ALOL:
Just make sure its MUI.

Examine the Griffonrider attacks and what its upgrade does. Also the RoC Ballista attack.

I don't really know how the w2 gryphons attack works, but if you want a linear missle (like ballistas) just check those units as suggested above
If you want something more like a "shockwave" in a line, you could use the Orb of lighting(new) ability. Give it X levels, each level casting a different carrion swarm.
Then trigger so that when unit attacks, set the "orb of lighting" level to a random value 1-X

But RoC Ballista attack deal damage from the unit, not from the target.

The line attack only begins at the target unit's point, then spreads in a line until a certain range.

This one is better. I'll try.
