How to detect unit targets of AOE spells(like Rain of Fire) ?

First of all: Use the [ trigger ] tags to post a trigger that's decently readable for people.

As for your question: 'Pick units in x range of (Point of ability being cast)', where x is the range of the ability being cast. I don't think there's a way to automatically check the range of the ability, so you'll have to make If/Then/Else triggers, like this:

• If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else d (Else Actions)
  • If - Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) equal to Reign of Fire
  • Then - Actions
    • Set AbiRange = 1000.00
  • Else - Actions
    • If (All Condtions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
      • If - Conditions
        • (Ability being cast) equal to Blizzard
      • Then - Actions
        • Set AbiRange = 1200
      • Else - Actions
• Unit - Pick every unit in AbiRange of (Point of ability being cast)

Hehe, i did that, but with Breath of Fire is problem, i used action- add event "trigering unit is damaged". That works fine becouse i dontk now how else you can detect breath of fire damage.

BoF simply hits all units within x range in front of the caster. Just set a region using that, and pick the units in that region.
