Getting the value of a variable without using damage meter

[Toomai]

Possibly not worth a topic, but here goes anyway.

I know that the simplest way to find out the value of a variable is to set a character's current damage to it. However, this doesn't work when:

• The variable decreases quickly (the damage meter cannot display a drop in damage faster than 1% per frame)
• The variable is not part of a character (it belongs to an item or something)

In these kinds of situations, what's the best way to find out what a variable's value is?

There really isn't a good solution to this. I've tried lots of methods with gfx size, momentum, hitbox size, etc. but all methods have their flaws.

But if you do have a gecko, we can pass on info on how to view their values in memory.

Okay, hate to bump this, but it's relevant again as I now have a (mostly functioning) USB Gecko. So I'd like to know how to read variables off of characters, items, and SSE enemies/bosses with it.
