Possible to change a unit's model mid-game?

[MasterWarlord]

The only way I know of how to do this is transformations. You can add and remove bear form with the unit you want to revert to and from in the fields of the ability, but I don't want to make an equivalent ability for this for every unit in the game. I want to turn every unit into one specific model on command. I basically want Hex that doesn't silence the target.

Not possible at the time being. The best you can do for now is to create multiple versions of the unit with different models and use triggers to replace them.
Also, what do you mean by "Hex doesn't silence the target"?

A unit transformed by Hex cannot cast active spells.

Here's how I would do it.

• Transform Ability
  • Events
    • Unit - A unit Begins casting an ability
  • Conditions
    • (Ability being cast) Equal to DummyAbility
  • Actions
    • Unit Group - Pick every unit in (Units in (Playable map area) matching ((Unit-type of (Picked unit)) Equal to Footman)) and do (Actions)
      • Loop - Actions
        • Set VariableSet UnitPoint = (Position of (Picked unit))
        • Unit - Remove (Picked unit) from the game
        • Unit - Create 1.Grunt for Player 1 (Red) at UnitPoint facing (Facing of (Picked unit)) degrees

You might also need a variable for storing the facing angle of the removed unit before its removed.
With a few extra steps you can do stuff like keep the same amount of hp and mana on the new unit as the old one if you need to..

Transform unit by adding chaos ability.
Or.
Unit - Replace Unit.
