API Frame UnregisterEvent

Last wiki revision 2023-08-21

Unregisters an event from the frame. registered = Frame:UnregisterEvent(eventName)

  • eventName: - Name of the frame event.
  • registered: - Returns true if the event was successfully unregistered, false if already unregistered. Throws an error is the event is invalid.
  • It's generally a good practice to unregister from events when no longer needed.
  • For example, a frame which monitors target health does not need to receive the UNIT_HEALTH event while the player has no target.
  • An addon that sorts the contents of the player's bags can register for the BAG_UPDATE event to keep track of when items are picked up, but unregister from the event while it performs its sorting.
