Can you make a unit, say a zealot, "jump" towards an enemy and do dammage without mods?

No, not really, since there is no "do damage" action. You can superimpose other units like Dark Templars or cloaked Wraiths to fake the damage, but you cant have the jumping unit deal damage outside of a normal attack like a Blink Strike in Warcraft.

You can do this quite easily:
1. When the spell is cast/spell conditions are met, summon a corsair or defiler near the jumping unit.
2 One of two things:
a. When the dark swarm/disruption web is cast, have the triggers do whatever damage you want on the spot. remove the defiler/corsair.
b. If the defiler/corsair isn't used within the alloted time, cancel the spell.
3. Move the jumping unit where the dark swarm/disruption web was cast. remove the disruption web/dark swarm and end the spell conditions.

Except DamageArea() is a Warcraft action, not a Starcraft one. The only way to cause the damage is to superimpose another attacking unit, which begins to ruin the looks of such a spell.

Useless, the map will be too large.

You need the defiler/corsair to aim where you want to jump, otherwise the best you could do is trigger an AI that does it for you.

Actually, mobile [coordinate] grids can be used to "jump" small distances with at least eight possibilities that greatly increase as distance is increased between the jumper and the jump destination. Here is a sample map, and here is the mobile grid tutorial

You can set up a grid system to detect when a unit is near you, and make the unit you are using move to the target, and maybe make a cloaked computer wraith to hurt the enemy. You can add an explosion or something to make a "shockwave" effect when you land

I thought that tutorial was for permament grids... but ya a mobile grid will work nicely.
I also want to know how i would do it for multiple units... because this is a "normal" type map i want to build multiple units with this ability.
