#Example
on skript load:

  add "<red><bold>Hey! <grey>you aren not permitted to enter this area." to {deniedMessages::*} #WorldGuard message
  add "You created the faction " to {deniedMessages::*} #Factions message

on packet event play_server_chat:

  set {_last-message} to toReadableText("chatcomponent" pjson 0 of event-packet)

  loop {deniedMessages::*}:
    if {_last-message} contains loop-value:

      cancel event
