```
    //0xFB4891BD7578CDC1   -- _IS_PED_COMPONENT_EQUIPPED(ped_id,category_id)
Citizen.InvokeNative(0xFB4891BD7578CDC1 ,PlayerPedId(), 0x9925C067)  -- for example, check if hat is on.
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
```

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = IsMetaPedUsingComponent(ped, component)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0xFB4891BD7578CDC1, ped, component, Citizen.ReturnResultAnyway())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = IsMetaPedUsingComponent(ped, component);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0xFB4891BD7578CDC1', ped, component, Citizen.returnResultAnyway());
```

### C#

```csharp
bool retval = Function.Call<bool>((Hash)0xFB4891BD7578CDC1, ped, component);
```

- 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.
