Ok so i've duplicated the nova snipe ability its actors and effect and such renamed and placed everything to target unit/point instead of unit, that worked however it no longer does damage unless you target a unit, targeting the ground behind the unit works visually but nothing actually happens to the unit it goes through.
Uhm - I'm not sure I've ever seen a snipe ability that just deals damage in a straight line.
Anyway - You ability launches a damage effect, this effect is applied to the target unit. There is nothing in this spell that searches for a target, thus it will only deal damage to the targeted unit.
Actors are entirely visual, and will never do anything but display something for the players, so they have no real importance in the effect part of the trigger.

You might want to look at Raynor's Railgun Snipe ability instead, since that one does damage in a line.
