Why don't you make the geometry something safe like r2d2 then skin it transparent (also hex edit for transparency, tutorial in the EYN thread)

It might help if you tell us why you need to do this.

I tried it once to make a "ghost" unit, but ran into the same problem.

There's no reason you can't just give it a mesh (I am assuming you're trying to do Napseeker's more-than-6-units workaround), but if you're really stuck on having an invisible unit, just take any model - can be a static mesh or an animated mesh (static meshes with no bones work just fine as units, no special animations are required) - and make it invisible by giving it a clear texture and hexedit the transparency in. Look in the SWBF2 tutorials to find out how.
