	MPT_MALE,
	MPT_FEMALE,
	MPT_TEEN,
	MPT_ANIMAL,
	MPT_NONE
};

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = GetMetaPedType(ped)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0xEC9A1261BF0CE510, ped, Citizen.ResultAsInteger())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = GetMetaPedType(ped);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0xEC9A1261BF0CE510', ped, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsInteger());
```

### C#

```csharp
int retval = Function.Call<int>((Hash)0xEC9A1261BF0CE510, ped);
```

- 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.
