    for x = 1000, 2000 do
        for y = 1000, 2000 do
            local t = getThingfromPos({x=x, y=y, z=7, stackpos = STACKPOS_TOP_CREATURE})
            if isPlayer(t.uid) then
                -- blabla
            end
        end
    end

Bad method, use getSpectators instead

That is very inefficient though, use getSpectators if your TFS version has that Lua function.

stackpos = STACKPOS_TOP_CREATURE})?

        local spectators = getSpectators(centerPos, 5, 5, false)
        if spectators ~= nil then
                for _, spectator in ipairs(spectators) do
                        if isPlayer(spectator) then
                                -- code
                        end
                end
        end

This will check 5 tiles to west and east from centerPos, and 5 tiles to north and south from centerPos.
