Returns the balloon object attached to a hot air balloon vehicle. 

If the input vehicle is a hot air balloon, the native returns the object entity
that represents the balloon itself (the inflated top part). 
If the vehicle is not balloon-type or the balloon object does not exist,the function returns 0. 
Always validate the returned handle with ENTITY::DOES_ENTITY_EXIST.
Notes:
- Only useful for hot air balloon vehicles.
- The returned handle is typically an OBJECT, not a PED or VEHICLE.

## Usage

### Lua

```lua
local retval = GetBalloonObjectFromVehicle(vehicle)

-- always available, by hash
local retval = Citizen.InvokeNative(0x0BA4250D20007C2E, vehicle, Citizen.ResultAsInteger())
```

### JavaScript

```js
const retval = GetBalloonObjectFromVehicle(vehicle);

// by hash
const retval = Citizen.invokeNative('0x0BA4250D20007C2E', vehicle, Citizen.returnResultAnyway(), Citizen.resultAsInteger());
```

### C#

```csharp
int retval = Function.Call<int>((Hash)0x0BA4250D20007C2E, vehicle);
```

- 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.
