DebuggingTool | GUI tool and JS SDK for interacting with lightning network | Cryptography library

I'm using IMGUI in Unity to make a custom variable debugger which allows me to send it varables of different primitive types and it will draw them on screen without much fuss. (by fuss I mean writing an OnGUI each time I want to check what a variable is doing, or hooking something up with the canvas system.) I know that obviously I can just look at these things in the inspector but with this system I can a) quickly add and remove things, and b) do it at runtime without having to do a development build.

I have a function working that takes in different types of data and does things with it based on its type. The issue is that it only seems to work if I pass the variable by value, and not by ref.

So for example if I send it an int or a float by value it works just fine but when I send it by ref I get this error:

error: CS1503: Argument 1: cannot convert from 'ref int' to 'ref object'

This occurs when AddDebugEntry is called (whole code is at the bottom of this question):
