Sinisterius
Okay, so I decided to script multiplayer shield bash. Would be awesome if xenoargh would add this to the OP (original post). If anything doesn't work, then feel free to tell me!
Explanations: most of the stuff is run client-side, so no strain goes on server. You must block and then press the attack button in order to bash. The scripts get the closest agent in front of you within 1.75metres.
It won't move the agent backwards if the distance between the ground and agent is higher than 25 (aka you can't bash them off ledges.. feel free to change this but I did it so there wouldn't be any glitchers, e.g glitching through invisible barriers).
Here are the scripts, with instructions.
