# ramdb_db_fnc_hashSet

## Description
Sets the value of a specified field in the hash table associated with the current client/player. This function automatically determines the appropriate hash ID based on the caller's identity, making it more convenient than `hashSetId` which requires manually specifying an ID. It allows storing various data types (arrays, strings, numbers, or booleans) in a field of the client-specific hash structure.

## Syntax
```sqf
[_keyField, _data] call ramdb_db_fnc_hashSet
```

## Parameters
| Parameter   | Type                             | Description                               | Default |
|-------------|----------------------------------|-------------------------------------------|---------|
| `_keyField` | String                           | Name of the field in the hash to set      | ""      |
| `_data`     | Array, String, Number, or Boolean| The value to store in the hash field      | []      |

## Return Value
None. The operation runs synchronously to store the data.

## Examples
### Store a player's loadout:
```sqf
["loadout", [getUnitLoadout player]] call ramdb_db_fnc_hashSet;
```

### Store player preferences:
```sqf
["settings", [true, 30, "normal"]] call ramdb_db_fnc_hashSet;
```

### Store data from a client:
```sqf
["clientInfo", [name player, getPlayerUID player]] remoteExecCall ["ramdb_db_fnc_hashSet", 2, false];
```

## Notes
- Stores a single field-value pair in the current client's hash table
- Both the field name and data parameters are required and validated
- If the field already exists, its value will be overwritten
- Supports various data types: arrays, strings, numbers, and booleans
- This function automatically determines which hash table to use based on the caller's identity
- Use `hashSetId` when you need to specify a particular hash table by ID
- Complex data structures should be serialized into arrays
- The operation is executed immediately and synchronously
- All operations are logged for debugging purposes
