## Signature

```c
Entity _EVENT_GET_TARGET_ENTITY_FROM_EVENT(Entity entity, Hash eventType, int p2, int p3);
```

## Parameters

- `entity` (`Entity`)
- `eventType` (`Hash`)
- `p2` (`int`)
- `p3` (`int`)

## Returns

`Entity`

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = EventGetTargetEntityFromEvent(entity, eventType, p2, p3)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0x38497F139981C5C9, entity, eventType, p2, p3, Citizen.ResultAsInteger())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = EventGetTargetEntityFromEvent(entity, eventType, p2, p3);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0x38497F139981C5C9', entity, eventType, p2, p3, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsInteger());
```

### C#

```csharp
int retval = Function.Call<int>((Hash)0x38497F139981C5C9, entity, eventType, p2, p3);
```

- Hash parameters: the named function also accepts a string and hashes it for you; `Citizen.InvokeNative` needs the number — pass `joaat("name")` or a backtick literal like `` `name` ``.
- The name is a community guess and may change. If the named call is missing in your client build, use `InvokeNative` with the hash — it always works.
