  • Assembly: UnityEngine.CoreModule
public static void SetString(string key, string value)

Parameters

key

string

value

string

Remarks

Keep the value at 2 KB or smaller. To store larger amounts of data, write them to a file in 
Application.persistentDataPath
.
The following example passes the 
KeyName
and 
Value
variables to a function called 
SetString
. The function uses the 
KeyName
variable in 
PlayerPrefs.SetString
as an identifier, and 
Value
as the contents to store. For example, you could use 
PlayerPrefs.SetString
to store the user’s name, like this: 
PlayerPrefs.SetString(“CharacterName”, “James”)
The 
GetString
function then uses the same 
KeyName
variable to retrieve the value stored in the 
PlayerPrefs
data.

Examples

using UnityEngine;public class Example : MonoBehaviour{    public void SetString(string KeyName, string Value)    {        PlayerPrefs.SetString(KeyName, Value);    }    public string GetString(string KeyName)    {        return PlayerPrefs.GetString(KeyName);    }}
