Okay, so ultimately I've ended up fixing it. I discovered that if I go under models there is a "Roach Upgrade" model. I managed to remove the Requirement/Validator so that the Roach uses the normal model. Trying to recreate the model switching on a different upgrade...
It looks like have managed to successfully give the Ravager an ability to morph into a Roach.. However the "Roach" still uses the Ravagers model after morphing and it doesn't morph into an egg during the morph sequence. Also it doesn't have the Roaches ability to morph into a Ravager. I find it odd that if I look at the Command Card buttons, the evolve to lurker/evolve to Roach is not there like the game adds it dynamically. Does anyone know why it is done this way? It seems the zergling/baneling evolution is not done this way..
No worries, here's the mod. Named Obamacare cause it was the only thing that came to mind at the time hahah. I really appreciate the help man. I'm surprised I've managed to get as far as I have without help.
Just for context sake, what I'm trying to achieve here is:
The Roach and Hydralisk position in the tech tree is switched
Roaches and Ravagers can morph back and forth in a similar way to Hellions/Hellbats (ie for free)
Roaches get burrow move for free.
I've made little changes here or there, the idea isn't to be balanced, more for fun and so I can get used to the editor
It's so strange that it's not working for me... would you like me to share my project? I've screenshotted below what I did.
edit: I dont know why I just clicked to this, but is it because of the glowing spikes on the Roach...ie is this a different model? I removed the requirement to research burrow move for Roaches.
Is it possible that it's because it's an extension mod and so I am building the Roach through a conventional means rather than placing it on the map through the editor?
Thanks for the help Laiev, but I just tried this and it didn't work. I put both the scale minimum and maximum to 2 but the model size is the same as a regular roach. :(
So I've been mucking around getting to learn the Editor and making an extension mod. I have run into a couple of difficulties however, namely:
I have increased the model size for the Roach by about 1.5, however when it morphs into a Ravager, the Ravager is huge. I've tried decreasing the size of the Ravager to compensate but it hasn't changed. Anyone know how I can fix this?
Apart from this I am trying to let the Ravager Morph back into a Roach... when I look at the Zerglings command card it has the button to morph to Baneling there, but Roaches and Hydralisks do not... (yet in game they do) I'm trying to edit this but having difficulty finding it.
Could someone please help a beginner out?
Thanks in advance.

Thank you good sir! It worked.
hmmm so I tried again: Selected Extension Mod → Legacy of the Void → select Roach/Hydralisk and it's still missing... what should I be doing instead?

Thanks. Do you have a tutorial or something you can link me to on how to do this? I actually haven't the faintest idea.
Hi SoulFilcher, I changed the Art Scale as shown here
