WoW:API Frame RegisterEvent

RegisterEvent -Documentation by AeroBrain-

Registers which events the object would like to monitor. This ensures the code placed in the <OnEvent> section is not called for any unneccessary events such as an incoming chat message when your addon is only looking to perform actions based upon the start of casting a spell.

obj:RegisterEvent(event);
