Anitarf	Well, for that you would use triggers, especialy the action "move unit instantly". The rain of fire leaves a buff, so you could either check for that periodicaly (if it's a continiued spell), or you could just pick all units in range of the target point of the spell and move those (if the spell only has one wave).

Code:

Sup
    Events
        Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
    Conditions
        (Ability being cast) Equal to [color=Blue]<Your ability>[/color]
    Actions
        Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of Player 1 (Red)) Equal to True)) and do (Actions)
            Loop - Actions
                If (All Conditions are True) then do (Then Actions) else do (Else Actions)
                    If - Conditions
                        ((Picked unit) has buff [color=Blue]<Your buff>[/color]) Equal to True
                    Then - Actions
                        Unit - Move (Picked unit) instantly to [color=Blue]<Your rect>[/color]))
                    Else - Actions
                        Do nothing

That's just a sample of what the trigger would look like. You can add more conditions as you please.

That wouldn't work, for multiple reasons.
First, you use the event "begins casting an ability" instead of "starts the effect of an ability", so there's no way for the units to already have the buff of the spell.
Second, even if you did use the "starts the effect of an ability", the units wouldn't have the buff yet, because he's using rain of fire which has a delay before impact. It would work if he used an instant buffing spell like silence as the base of his spell.

Also, after moving the picked unit, it would be good to remove the buff from it.
