## Usage

### Lua

```lua
StartTaskItemInteraction(ped, itemHash, interactionAnimHash, p3, flag, p5)

-- always available, by hash
Citizen.InvokeNative(0xAE72E7DF013AAA61, ped, itemHash, interactionAnimHash, p3, flag, p5)
```

### JavaScript

```js
StartTaskItemInteraction(ped, itemHash, interactionAnimHash, p3, flag, p5);

// by hash
Citizen.invokeNative('0xAE72E7DF013AAA61', ped, itemHash, interactionAnimHash, p3, flag, p5 + 0.0000001);
```

### C#

```csharp
Function.Call((Hash)0xAE72E7DF013AAA61, ped, itemHash, interactionAnimHash, p3, flag, p5);
```

- 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` ``.
- Float parameters: Lua integers (`10`, or whole numbers decoded from NUI/JSON) are sent as ints and read as garbage. Write `10.0` or `value + 0.0`. The generated JS wrappers add `0.0000001` to non-zero floats for the same reason.
