Is there a way to automate the creation of a miniature entity structure?

Code:
for i = 0, 10 do
  local group = getAddressList().createMemoryRecord()
  group.IsGroupHeader = true
  --create an entity under this group
    local entry = getAddressList().createMemoryRecord()
    entry.description = "Entity #"..i
    entry.address = "address_get_entity"
    entry.OffsetCount = 1
    entry.Offset[0] = 4 * i
    entry.type = 2
end

Is `appendToEntry` what you're looking for?

You should probably move the header outside the for loop

Use one of the constants in defines.lua for the type

The group can be set to hide children when inactive as well
Code:
local group = getAddressList().createMemoryRecord()
group.Description = 'Entities'
group.IsGroupHeader = true
group.Options = '[moHideChildren]'

for i = 0, 10 do
  local entry = getAddressList().createMemoryRecord()
  entry.description = "Entity #"..i
  entry.address = "address_get_entity"
  entry.OffsetCount = 1
  entry.Offset[0] = 4 * i
  entry.type = vtDword
  entry.appendToEntry(group)
end

Thank you man you always save me.

Is there a benefit to using a variable (a constant from defines.lua) instead of its representation?

It's easier to read the code.
Code:
memrec.type = 5
memrec.type = vtDouble
The first line has no meaning to people when read. The second clearly means the type of the memrec is a double.
