Description:
If a player wounds a civilian with a shotgun, and that civilian quickly commits suicide by e.g. jumping off of a roof, the death will be counted as the player having killed the civilian. This scenario should either be counted as an arrest, or a civilian suicide. This is likely due to the BF2 engine interpreting this case as the ambiguous "Player [Killed] Civilian".

Steps to Reproduce:
-Shoot a civilian with a shotgun, attempting to perform an arrest - shoot from sufficiently far that the arrest fails but damage is still dealt.
-Within several seconds of being shot, have the civilian commit suicide.

has happend to me can confirm

This is not limited to suicide-post-shotgun-fire situations.

OPFOR that suicide at any time donate intel towards the next cache, collaberator or not.

I know this because I was hosting motorbike racing around Al Basrah as OPFOR (the enemy team was dormant). A cache eventually became known after many of our inevitable crashes and deaths.

This was not the first cache which automatically becomes known following the first 5 minutes.

No, what the OP meant was that if you were to shoot a civi with a shotgun and he jumped off the roof, you would get an innocent out of ROE kill, decreasing the team's IP points, giving you a longer spawn, and decreasing your points.
