How do you hook metatables with the WRD API?

There are getrawmetatable() and setrawmetatable() methods in the API, along with setreadonly(). None of these methods appear to work or just cause my client to crash. Is there a specific way to use them? The way they are used in the Synapse documentation does not appear to work with WRD API.

Just incase someone says "theres no newcclosure" they're stupid

it's a wrapper, all the functions are cclosures.

Anyway this is how:

local mt = getrawmetatable(game)
local backup = mt.__index
setreadonly(mt, false)

mt.__index = newcclosure(function(...) --newcclosure isnt needed here but it would be needed for any other execution method
    --do whatever here
    return backup(...)
end)
setreadonly(mt, true) --not needed but I like to do it

@DeepPain

Ran your origional, the block failed with an error:

attempt to call global 'newcclosure' (a nil value)

Removing the newcclosure, it would fail to run the code block upon indexing game (i put a print statement, and then a WRDApi console log)

WRD API simply does not support newcclosure, and as I stated in the question, the usage from Synapse X is inconsistent with WRD API.

@snekerator well deeppain said all funcs on wrappers are cclosures so you could be doing this:

if newcclosure == nil then
    getgenv().newcclosure = function(func)
        func()
    end
end

I am not sure if it works and I might be totally wrong, but maybe it will work?

(add the code b4 ur script)

@Wabz You'd need to return it not call it
