As the title say, this is a very easy way to toggle units model,it dosen't have to share a skeleton or anything, and its made through the model condition.

First of all, take the main unit, lets say gondor fighter, and the unit you want it to be, for example mordor easterling. Well you have to copy the section called "Draw" and change the module tag:

Code

 

Draw = W3DHordeModelDraw ModuleTag_Togglemodel;01

    OkToChangeModelColor = Yes

    StaticModelLODMode = Yes

    ;(....)

    DefaultModelConditionState

    Model = MUEstrlg_SKN 

    ;(....)

End

the unit draw, this is were the model is, now, you don't want to gondor fighter look creppy with a easterling just in the same place, so, give it no model, and add another model condition state, called "WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1":

Code

 

Draw = W3DHordeModelDraw ModuleTag_Togglemodel;01

    OkToChangeModelColor = Yes

    StaticModelLODMode = Yes

    ;(....)

    DefaultModelConditionState

        Model = None;MUEstrlg_SKN (now it won't be see)

    End

    ModelConditionState WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

        Model = MUEstrlg_SKN

    End

    ;(....)

By this the easterling model wont be see if the unit is in default model condition, and will be shown when you make it toggle weapon, but again, you dont want doble model, so go to gondor fighter draw and add somthing like...:

Code

 

Draw = W3DHordeModelDraw ModuleTag_01

    OkToChangeModelColor = Yes    

    StaticModelLODMode = Yes

    ;(....)

    DefaultModelConditionState

        Model = GUMAArms_SKN

        Skeleton = GUMAArms_SKL

    End



;---------- THIS ***

    ModelConditionState WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1

        Model = None

    End

;---------- 

    ;(....)

Now, you can add the horde command set a button like "Command_ToggleFaramirWeapon" or anithing and will change your units. Now, do you wander why i use WEAPONSET_TOGGLE_1?
