you create a table and then copy the contents of the array over to the table, when done, write it back

or, you create a table, and then attach a metadata table that intercepts the accesses to the table, and converts those into specific reads/writes

what to do if array contains pointers?
do like this?:
Code:
local arrPtr = {}
for i = 0, readByte(0xA9E7B0) do --current number of elements
  arrPtr[i] = readPointer(0xA9E7B0 + 0x8 + i * 0x4) --array start
end
