Changing Toggle UI's value (Checked or Unchecked)

Question

I can't seem to find a way wherein we can change the value of the Toggle UI.

Setting it to checked or unchecked. I wonder if it's really impossible or I'm just missing something.

Why I need it?: I'm developing a 3D Game where there are ImageEffects such as Bloom, Motion Blur, and Antialiasing. And I have a pause menu with settings that toggles those ImageEffects to turn it on or off.

Somehow, I wanted it to be saved in PlayerPrefs so once an ImageEffect is off, it will stay off once you open the game again.

You use .isOn to set the value. E.G

 using UnityEngine;
 using UnityEngine.UI;
 
 public class HelpSomeone : MonoBehaviour
 {
     GameObject inGameToggle;
 
     private void Start()
     {
         inGameToggle = GameObject.Find("Toggle Name");
     }
 
     //Use buttons linked to this
     public void ChangeValueToTrue()
     {
         inGameToggle.GetComponent<Toggle>().isOn = true;
     }
 
     //Use buttons linked to this
     public void ChangeValueToFalse()
     {
         inGameToggle.GetComponent<Toggle>().isOn = false;
     }
 
 }

yes, it is possible. use bool var for every image-effects so every time when open the game set-get player pref for image-effects.

May I know what's the syntax for changing the Toggle UI?

Fore example, I have a Toggle variable: MotionBlurToggle.

Is there something like: MotionBlurtoggle.checked = true;

I am not exactly sure what you are asking for, but I hope this answers your question:

 // This will show you the state of your toggle in the console
 bool toggleState;
 MotionBlurtoggle.isOn = toggleState;
 Debug.Log(toggleState);
 
 
 // This will toggle your Button on and off
 MotionBlurtoggle.isOn = !MotionBlurtoggle.isOn
 // Simply put: Turn my Toggle-State into what it is not
 // So if on, turn it off. If off, turn it on
