Cancel effect

If this event is canceled, the game's chat system won't deliver the message. You may use outputChatBox to send the messages then.

Example

This example blocks players sending a PM to a player named "Bob".

function blockPM(msg,r)
	if (getPlayerName(r) == "Bob") then -- If they sent a PM to "Bob"
		cancelEvent() -- Then cancel it
		outputChatBox("Bob is not accepting PM's at this time.",source,255,0,0) -- And output it was cancelled.
	end
end
addEventHandler("onPlayerPrivateMessage",getRootElement(),blockPM)
