If you're on a Scratch project with a variable or list that's hidden, is it possible to use Inspect Element to see the value of the variable/list?

I don't think that's possible on the Scratch website. If you run a project on TurboWarp, you can use the following code in the console to get values of all variables in the project:

Maximouse wrote:

for (let target of vm.runtime.targets) {
for (let variable of Object.values(target.variables)) {
console.log(`${target.sprite.name}: ${variable.name} = ${variable.value}`);
}
}

thanks!

You can also get project scripts in JSON format from the Scratch API and check those values…
I think…

Oh. Sorry. I misread it as “script”

I don't think this is a good idea to discuss this as it can be used against a project, like for setting high scores in a game while looking at the variables.

Well we already are discussing about scratchclient and scratchconnect

This is easier to do for the average scratcher…

Anyone can make a website, gets username and password, then set any variable. I know one website that was going to be made, or maybe already exists, which does this. That website used the owner's account.

This would work on the Scratch website:

const { vm } = document.getElementById('app')._reactRootContainer._internalRoot.current.child.pendingProps.store.getState().scratchGui;
for (const target of vm.runtime.targets) {
    for (const variable of Object.values(target.variables)) {
        console.log(`${target.sprite.name}: ${variable.name} = ${variable.value}`);
    }
}

thanks!

What does “vm” stand for in this script?

i think the st has a endpoint for cloud vars but it's kinda hard to get some data out of it, unless there's a script.
