I need help with getting a keybind from PlayerPrefs

Unity Engine

Hi, I’ve been having some trouble getting keys from playerprefs. I have successfully set the keys in forms of strings but i can’t seem to get them to detect if they are being pushed or not.

For setting my keys i’m using a Dictionary.

Dictionary<string, KeyCode> keys;

When I’m pulling from my playerprefs to add them to a dictionary they work just fine.

keys.Add("Attack", (KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Attack", "Q")));

However, When i try to use them in a:

if (Input.GetKey((KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof (KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Attack"))))

It doesn’t seem to detect my input. if I change my input using my keybinds manager/keybinds screen.

public void SaveKeys() {
        foreach (var key in keys) {
            PlayerPrefs.SetString(key.Key, key.Value.ToString());
        }
}

It still doesn’t seem to want to detect my keys no matter which keys i have put into the PlayerPrefs.

Help! D: idk what i’m doing wrong :((((

P.S. Here is my full script. I wanted to put it at the end so I can hit my key points first.

using UnityEngine;
using System.Collections;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using UnityEngine.UI;

public class Keybinds : MonoBehaviour
{

    private Dictionary<string, KeyCode> keys = new Dictionary<string, KeyCode>();

    public GameObject[] labels;

    private GameObject currentKey;

    private bool isKeysMenu;

    // Use this for initialization
    void Start()
    {

        isKeysMenu = false;
        keys.Add("Attack", (KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Attack", "Q")));
        keys.Add("Action", (KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Action", "E")));
        keys.Add("Left", (KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Left", "A")));
        keys.Add("Right", (KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Right", "D")));
        keys.Add("Jump", (KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Jump", "Space")));

        displayKeys();
    }
    public void displayKeys() {
        for (int i = 0; i < keys.Count; i++)
        {
            labels[i].transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Text>().text = keys[labels[i].gameObject.name].ToString();
        }
    }

    // Update is called once per frame
    public void isKeybindsMenu(bool b) {
        if (!b) {
            isKeysMenu = false;
        }
        else {
            isKeysMenu = true;
        }
    }

    void OnGUI() {
        if (isKeysMenu) { 
            if (currentKey != null)
            {
                Event e = Event.current;
                if (e.isKey)
                {
                    keys[currentKey.name] = e.keyCode;
                    currentKey.transform.GetChild(0).GetComponent<Text>().text = e.keyCode.ToString();
                    Debug.Log(currentKey.name);
                    currentKey = null;
                }
            }
        }
    }
    public void changeKey(GameObject clicked) {
        currentKey = clicked;
    }
    public void SaveKeys() {
        foreach (var key in keys) {
            PlayerPrefs.SetString(key.Key, key.Value.ToString());
        }
    }
    public Dictionary<string, KeyCode> getKeys() {
        return keys;
    }
}

I figured it out. My keybinds are actually working just fine. it was actually an issue with a different script that was overriding what this script was telling it to do. I was trying to use an axis in my other script only to find out that A, D, LeftArrow, RightArror, and my controller axis were overriding my script in a If(than) else statement.

if (Input.GetKeyDown((KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof (KeyCode),PlayerPrefs.GetString("Left"))))
            {
                xAxis = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
            }
            else if (Input.GetKeyDown((KeyCode)System.Enum.Parse(typeof(KeyCode), PlayerPrefs.GetString("Right"))))
            {
                xAxis = Input.GetAxisRaw("Horizontal");
            }
            else
            {
                xAxis = Input.GetAxis("Horizontal");
            }
