Somehow I need to broadcast to all players in X channel, just that channel, not default or others...

This function works for the newer distros.

Lua: 
doPlayerSendChannelMessage(cid, AuthorName, message, talktype, channelNumber) -- example 4 = gamachat

If you have an older version paste this into your sources.

In Luascript.cpp
Code: 
//doPlayerSendChannelMessage(cid, author, message, SpeakClasses, channel)
	lua_register(m_luaState, "doPlayerSendChannelMessage", LuaScriptInterface::luaDoPlayerSendChannelMessage);
Code: 
int32_t LuaScriptInterface::luaDoPlayerSendChannelMessage(lua_State* L)
{
	//doPlayerSendChannelMessage(cid, author, message, SpeakClasses, channel)
	uint16_t channelId = popNumber(L);
	uint32_t speakClass = popNumber(L);
	std::string text = popString(L), name = popString(L);

	ScriptEnviroment* env = getScriptEnv();
	Player* player = env->getPlayerByUID(popNumber(L));
	if(!player)
	{
		reportErrorFunc(getErrorDesc(LUA_ERROR_PLAYER_NOT_FOUND));
		lua_pushboolean(L, LUA_ERROR);
		return 1;
	}

	player->sendChannelMessage(name, text, (SpeakClasses)speakClass, channelId);
	lua_pushboolean(L, LUA_NO_ERROR);
	return 1;
}

Luascript.h
Code: 
static int32_t luaDoPlayerSendChannelMessage(lua_State* L);

kind regards, Evil Hero

It broadcasts in the channel, so this works fine for me, probably use another talktype that might solve your problem.

Use a loop to broadcast in all channels to all players online: Example:

Lua: 
local players = getPlayersOnline()
for k, v in ipairs(players) do
doPlayerSendChannelMessage(pid, AuthorName, "Hello World", TALKTYPE_CHANNEL_Y, CHANNEL_GAMECHAT)
end

Lol i was wrong in one part, here you go:

                minLevelDiff = 20, -- false if you don't want any level diff req (negative numbers allowed).
                text = "This is a gift to |KILLERNAME| [|KILLERLEVEL|] for killing |TARGETNAME| [|TARGETLEVEL|]"
        },
