I don't know if I understand either. Are you not able to call print_standard_redirect(), or is it that you don't think it does what you want? Why not this:

function blockAccess($message) {
    global $forbidbad, $badcookie, $myredir;
    if ($forbidbad == true) {
        writeCookie($badcookie, $message, $myredir);
    }
    
    global $vbulletin;
    $vbulletin->url = $myredir;
    print_standard_redirect('phrase_to_show');
}
