Help: Building Upgrade Crash!

Hey, my friend is having a problem with his map where every time you make this specific tower from its base and upgrade till this tower the game crashes for all players. It doesn't crash if you start with the tower before it already on the map from placing it in the editor. I uploaded the map so anyone can try it out and see. I don't understand the problem because the tower and the one before it are the same, and there are no triggers dealing with any towers.

The Map: Try it out, the tower in question is called Multi-Shot Archer and is found in the Custom Units > Night Elf > Buildings.

To upgrade the building to crash the combo is Archer > Dual shot > Multi Shot

NEW_Line Tower Wars.w3x

-Thanks for any help or suggests or anything you have.

Try checking Techtree fields. There's one particular field that says "Dependency Equivalents" (or something like that) that tends to crash, if you fill it in improperly.
Also, consider that some data may be corrupt in the Abilities section (if the tower uses it). Try remaking those abilities for that particular tower.
Might it be a corrupted custom model?

By the way, because I don't play WC3 anymore, I need every single tidbit of information on the crash that you have, such as when it crashes (at beginning/end of construction) or if you select the unit when after it's finished.

Alright, im the maker of this map. And heres the problem...

I dont use any custom model or abilities...
I have also tried to re create the whole tower, but still crashes. It crashes when you click the upgrade to multi shot tower.
Another thing i have tried was: having the archer upgrade directly to a multi shot archer, works, but when i try to upgrade it to the final level, it crashes when the upgrade button is clicked...

I do not use any dependent equivalents > the field is left blanc as default...

The other towers that can be upgraded from the archer work nicely.. its just the dual shot, multi shot and multi shot barrager are the problem but don't understand whats wrong or why...

Well, what about animation tags?

The mystery deepens and the plot thickens...

check the upgrade on the base tower and just replace it.
