When doing decomp, it can be tricky to identify what entity is associated to a particular function. This page will list methods for doing this.
Known entity, unknown function, if Enemy
If you know an entity of interest, and want to find its function, here is a method that works if the entity is an enemy.
1) Open up a RAM viewer in an emulator. Look at address 80073490. This is PLAYER.unkB8.
2) Touch (and get hurt by) the enemy of interest. A pointer to that enemy gets stored into 80073490.
3) Look at the data stored at that pointer. That is the entity that hurt you; look at its PfnEntityUpdate function to see what its function is.
