## Signature

```

## Parameters

- `eventData` (`Any*`)

## Returns

`BOOL`

## Description

eventData:
struct UI_SCRIPT_EVENT
{
	alignas(8) eUIScriptEventType eventType; // https://alloc8or.re/rdr3/doc/enums/eUIScriptEventType.txt
	alignas(8) int intParam;
	alignas(8) Hash hashParam;
	alignas(8) Hash datastoreParam;
};

Old name: _EVENT_MANAGER_GET_EVENT

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval, eventData = EventsUiGetMessage(hash, eventData)

-- always available, by hash
local retval, eventData = Citizen.InvokeNative(0xE24E957294241444, hash, Citizen.PointerValueIntInitialized(eventData), Citizen.ReturnResultAnyway())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const [retval, eventData] = EventsUiGetMessage(hash, eventData);

// by hash
const [retval, eventData] = Citizen.invokeNative('0xE24E957294241444', hash, Citizen.pointerValueIntInitialized(eventData), Citizen.returnResultAnyway());
```

### C#

```csharp
var eventData = new OutputArgument();
bool retval = Function.Call<bool>((Hash)0xE24E957294241444, hash, eventData);
// eventData.GetResult<int>()
```

- 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 last argument is an in/out pointer: pass its initial value, and the updated value is returned after the result.
- `Any*` arguments are often structs. Build them with a DataView buffer and pass it with `:Buffer()` — see the examples and notes below.
