I was tinkering wit the editor and I was wondering if there was a way to change a unit's attack type, using triggers maybe? I was trying to make it so that when a particular hero picks up an item it changes his attack to choas, any way i could accomplish this?

In the actions section of the trigger there is an action "replace unit" ...essentially replace the unit with a clone of it that has the desired attack type... that should do this, there is another way but its more complicated than this.

Alter a metamorphosis ability, make the normal unit form the original unit, make the alternate unit form the cloned unit with the modified attack, set flags to uninterruptible, permanent , set alternate form hit points to 0 (otherwise it'll add watver hit point you put here to the new form), set mana cost to 0, set up a trigger - add ability, add this ability to the unit, then set up a new action, issue order with no target, order unit to Night Elf Demon hunter - Metamorphosis, and there you go
