Could you tell me how I can dereference a pointer in one line using one call?

The address is a symbol

Code:
local primary = readQword("[base_address]") -- + 0xF8 + 20 + 0x1F6


-- What I did
Code:
local primary = readByte(readQword(readQword(readQword(readQword("base_address")) + 0xF8) + 0x20) + 0x1F6)

Code:
local primary = readByte'[[[[base_address]]+F8]+20]+1F6'

If that doesn't work, maybe you should dereference base_address once instead of twice
