[Trigger] Projectile with collision

[new_complex]

Hey HIVE forums, I developing a small arena based map, and I need help with a spell. Its a basic spell that fires a fast 522+ ms plus projectile in a straight line directly in front of your unit. I managed to trigger most of it myself, but I can't figure out how to give it MUI, and it collides with dead bodies.

Here is a overview of my triggers.

-Detect spell is cast, creates a dummy unit with projectile model in front of you, and instantly uses a knockback system to propel it at the equivalent of 1k ms.
-every .02 seconds, it detects if any other units are within a 200 square radius of the projectile, by making a unit group with all the units in that radius. If their is more then one unit (one for the dummy itself), it destroys the projectile, and deals damage.


Any ideas on how to give it MUI? Currently my MUI works up until collision detection. Or how to make it stop colliding with dead bodies? (I couldn't figure out how to put a "if alive" check in my triggers".

Finally, I want it to damage the closest target inside an area of effect, not the entire effect.

Here is my gui triggers its probably superbad because Im a noob at triggering.

I think due to my inexperience Im probably using the most convoluted and pointless way of doing this So if my current framework is so f'ed up that It cant even be made MUI, any suggestions?
