API CombatLogSetCurrentEntry

Sets the currently selected combat log entry to the given value, to be retrieved using. CombatLogSetCurrentEntry(index [, ignoreFilter])

• index: - see details below
• ignoreFilter: - set to true to ignore combat log filters

• isValidIndex: - will return false if the index does not exist in the combat log, but will still set the entry. Otherwise, returns true for valid indices.

Combat log indexing works a bit differently than standard Lua indexing. You can treat the combat log like a big table, with the oldest entries being placed at the beginning, and the newest entries at the end.

Unlike standard Lua tables, however, an index of 0 will set the entry to the most recent combat log entry. Additionally, you are also able to index the combat log backwards using negative values. For example, an index of -1 will return the second to last, or second most recent entry in the combat log.

See for details on traversing the combat log.
