## excerpt: Get a field value from the current client's hash table in RAMDb.

# ramdb_db_fnc_hashGet

## Description

Retrieves the value associated with a specific field in the hash table of the current client/player. This function automatically determines the appropriate hash ID based on the caller's identity, making it more convenient than `hashGetId` which requires manually specifying an ID. It accesses hash data asynchronously and returns the result through a callback function.

## Syntax

[_keyField, _function, _call, _netId] call ramdb_db_fnc_hashGet

## Parameters

Parameter | Type | Description | Default
--- | --- | --- | ---
`_keyField` | String | Name of the field in the hash to retrieve | ""
`_function` | String | Name of the function to receive the retrieved data | ""
`_call` | Boolean | Whether to call the function directly (true) or spawn (false) | false
`_netId` | String | (Optional) NetID of the player to receive the data | ""

## Return Value

None. The retrieved data is passed to the specified callback function asynchronously.

## Examples

### Retrieve a player's loadout:

["loadout", "ramdb_db_fnc_test"] call ramdb_db_fnc_hashGet;

### Retrieve data with synchronous callback:

["playerScore", "ramdb_db_fnc_processScore", true] call ramdb_db_fnc_hashGet;

### Retrieve data and send it to a specific client:

["loadout", "ramdb_db_fnc_test", false, netId player] remoteExecCall ["ramdb_db_fnc_hashGet", 2, false];

## Notes

- Retrieves a value from the current client's hash table
- The data is retrieved asynchronously through the extension's callback system
- Both the field name and callback function name must be provided
- Input validation ensures both required parameters are non-empty
- When a netId is provided, the data is sent to that specific client
- The `_call` parameter determines whether the function is called directly (synchronous) or spawned (asynchronous)
- This function automatically determines which hash table to use based on the caller's identity
- Use `hashGetId` when you need to specify a particular hash table by ID
- All operations are logged for debugging purposes
