Need some help on a custom ability

I'm trying to have a hero use Rain of Chaos to bring Infernals down. I want the Infernals to die on impact and do splash damage when they die (in addition to what they do when they land). I've tried editing the Infernal's abilities to include aoe splash damage on death (mine and big mine), and kaboom, but it's still not working. Any suggestions? The Infernal whose abilities I changed is in the Neutral Hostile folder. Is there another Infernal used for the ability? Thanks

This might or might not work, but if it does, it'd probably look pretty cool. Try giving the infernal the 'revenge' ability, and make a trigger that looks somewhat like

An unit owned by player [x] is summoned

Unit type of (summoned unit) equal to Infernal

Order (summoned unit) revenge


That should make them explode on impact, dealing some pretty good splash damage.

You might just remove them and create a special effect at the point they spawn, then use a trigger to deal damage. That way you can use whatever animation you want for the explosion.

Like:
Event:
Unit is Summoned (Or enter playable map area)

Conditions:
Unit-type equal to Infernal

Actions:
Create special effect (some kind of explosion) at position of unit.
Pick all units in circle (radius like 200 from position of unit), set hp to hp - X.
Remove Unit
