Help with PlayerPrefs

Unity Engine

Hello guys… I’m trying to save boolean values for some items in my game which only features are “you have it or you dont have it” = true, false
The items are: air, water, fire and earth gems
The problem is, I can save their values with “SetInt” using the code below
But how can I load the info?

here is my code

public void Save()
    {
        water = Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().waterGem;
        air = Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().airGem;
        fire = Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().fireGem;
        earth = Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().earthGem;
        saved = Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().hasSaved;
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("WaterGem", (water ? 1 : 0));
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("AirGem", (air ? 1 : 0));
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("EarthGem", (earth ? 1 : 0));
        PlayerPrefs.SetInt("FireGem", (fire ? 1 : 0));

public void Load()
    {
        water = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("WaterGem", false);
        Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().waterGem = water;
        air = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("AirGem", false);
        Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().airGem = air;
        earth = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("EarthGem", false);
        Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().earthGem = earth;
        fire = PlayerPrefs.GetInt("FireGem", false);
        Controller.GetComponent<Manager>().fireGem = fire;
    }

the “load” function is definitely not working
please heeeeelp

You are loading an int as a bool. GetInt is going to return a number which you need to turn into a boolean.

if(PlayerPrefs.GetInt("WaterGem", 0) == 1)
    water = true;
}else{
   water = false;
};

Or in shorthand, water = PlayerPrefs.GetInt(“WaterGem”, 0) == 1;
