So I finished my Teleporters Mod but now I need multiplayer support.. So the main teleporting thread is inside the game.on_tick event, but that does not give me the the player index so how do I get the player? I dont want to loop through every player every tick cause that would take lagg I think..

I think you kinda need to

Each player needs to simulate what every other player does

Well thanks!

I think the reason is not that every player needs to simulate what every other player does (which is true), but that on_tick is not a player-specific event. It is a global game event, which is not caused by any player action and thus, there is no player to be associated with the event.

So you'll need to loop, or be triggered by an event which supplies the player / player index.
