what triggers would i need to use to make a shotgun effect. For example, I have a unit, when it kills an enemy unit all of the other units around it will die.

Would you mind having to use a spell to "fire"?

You could have three locations -- 1x1, 2x2, and 3x3 -- centering on the attacked unit (then moved by mobile grids slightly towards the shooter) with the 1x1 killing every unit in it closer to the shooter, the 2x2 killing weaker units closer to the shooter and injuring stronger ones, and finally with the 3x3 injuring the weaker units and barely touching the stronger ones.
Temporarily summoning and removing some splash units, such as a siege tank could also do the trick.

Any way I can think of without using a spell isn't worth it and is rediculously impractical (EDIT: for normal attacks). Sorry.
EDIT: I didn't see seige's post until after I posted. How would you identify the attacked unit?

A couple of ways:
1. Use the Gunner System if you're going to use the defiler or corsair to aim.
2. Have an observer or scourge temporarily spawned to bring over the enemy unit.
3. An AI auto-aiming system. Casting the shotgun spell will cause the AI to auto-determine which unit is best to shoot at.

How do the triggers tell what unit was shot at though?
(nvm, noticed the "spell")

I'm pretty sure there is a way (I haven't figured it out yet) to be able to kill units around a unit that dies (take Bioject's RE:One for example).

Depending on the situation, if all the enemies are at full health and you shoot one, its hp drops and that can be used to detect the unit attacked. But if it weakens units around it then that would be chaos, you would need a diff control then hp i guess.
This would work if you're supposed to kill everything in 1 shot

There are EUD conditions that can detect health, if I remember correctly...
Make your unit's attack have 1 less damage than the enemy's health, and detect (via EUDs) that health loss, and do the effect, using a switch/deathcount to make sure it only happens once.
Its a tad impractical, but it could work :/

If its one-hit-kills, Make it so that, if kills score is at least 1, play wav, set kill score to 0

Something like this would be VERY bad, you need to know the unit ID(is that the right term?), the unit itself(i think), the player owner(i think), plus the specific setting itself. there are 1700 potential unit IDs, a whole bunch of units, plus up to a hundred triggers per unit.
so, its like this:
1700 X how many unit types you have X number of applicable players X 100 = a very ugly amount of triggers for this to work
not to mention, it only tells you if a unit has the amount of HP, not which unit has the amount of HP, so, for instance, if P1 has 2 marines, it'd be VERY difficult to find which marine the triggers were detecting for.
