Changing Units trigger

Ok I got the idea from parasite, but anyways basically I wanna make it where like say a unit, like a Footmen can have this ability, when you click on it, it turns him into a Riflemen or something,

How can I do that, I tried like baseing the spell on like druids that change form, but it just makes a diff unit and ends up killing the person that was supposed to transform! So plz help

That's weird, it should work, you could perhaps try to base it on a diffrent morphing spell.

If for some reason it doesn't work, you can always use the trigger Unit - Replace and make a dummy spell to trigger it.

Agreed, replacing it via trigger is liable to be your smoothest solution. However, rather than replace the unit, I recommend you make a dummy skill that, when it is used, gives the unit a Chaos ability that changes him to a Rifleman (using your example). Chaos has the advantage of keeping selection, command groups, buffs, and (possibly) orders of the previous unit without doing the work of triggering that.
