```

### JavaScript

```js
const entity = SetEntityAsNoLongerNeeded(entity);

// by hash
const entity = Citizen.invokeNative('0x4971D2F8162B9674', Citizen.pointerValueIntInitialized(entity));
```

### C#

```csharp
var entity = new OutputArgument();
Function.Call((Hash)0x4971D2F8162B9674, entity);
// entity.GetResult<int>()
```

- The last argument is an in/out pointer: pass its initial value, and the updated value is returned after the result.
