Question How can i set shadows from PlayerPrefs?

I'm actually saving shadows settings trough a boolean as integer on PlayerPrefs, like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. PlayerPrefs.SetInt("shadows", toggleShadows.isOn ? 1 : 0);

toggleShadows is a toggle
but i can't set it like this:

Code (CSharp):

1. sun.shadows = (LightShadows)PlayerPrefs.GetInt("shadows") == 1 ? true : false;

sun is the main light

 

Why are you not saving it as a boolean? PlayerPrefs.SetBool()

 

there's no boolean on PlayerPrefs, for me at least

 

Oh yeah, you're right, You may wanna use PlayerPrefsX which adds support for booleans, colors etc.

 

but that won't work either though

 

Is your sun assigned to a DirectionalLight?

 

sun is actually the the main DirectionalLight

 

The reason it's not working is because the light.shadows is not a bool but an enum "LightShadows" which has the options LightShadows.None, LightShadows.Hard , LightShadows.Soft,
So you may wanna do this :

Code (CSharp):

1. sun.shadows = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("shadows") == 1 ? LightShadows.Soft : LightShadows.None;

 

Fixed:

Code (CSharp):

1. sun.shadows = PlayerPrefsX.GetBool("shadows") == true ? LightShadows.Soft : LightShadows.None;
