Yes you can in GUI, bit I think it requires very good GUI skills to make this MUI.
The idea is to create a missle (dummy unit) and move it with a timer/trigger every 0.02-0.04 seconds (50-25 times per second in this case, 25 is fast enough). Whenever you move your missle forwards, you pick all units in range of... 50, 100? your choice and damage one. As soon as one is damaged, kill the missle.

When your trigger moves projectile (aka missile), pick all units in small range within it, and if there is any unit, deal damage, stun him and remove projectile.

• SpellRun
  • Events
    • Time - Every 0.04 seconds of game time
  • Conditions
  • Actions
    • -------- moving stuff here --------
    • Custom script: call MoveLocation(udg_MissileLoc, GetUnitX(udg_Missile), GetUnitY(udg_Missile))
    • Set MissileGroup = (Units within 128.00 of MissileLoc matching (((Matching unit) belongs to an enemy of MissileOwner) equal to True))
    • Group - Pick every unit in MissileGroup and do (Actions)
      • Actions
        • Unit - Cause Missile to damage (Picked unit), dealing 100.00 damage of attack type Spell and damage type Normal
        • -------- dummy cast (stun) here --------
        • Unit - Remove Missile from the game
        • Trigger - Turn off SpellRun <gen>

However, this will be not MUI, you should use arrays for missile data and one timer (or periodic trigger) for doing actions.

The spell "Hydro Jet" in my spellpack can help you with your problem. If you do not know how to make it a 1 time projectile you could ask me or anyone who is skilled in GUI.
