Get scoreboard objective from entity in 1.12.2

[ptolemy2002]

I have a mod that can run commands. But I cannot catch the result of the command it runs. When my mod edits the scoreboard of an entity, it should have a way to get the current score of a specific objective of that entity. I do not need a way to edit the score, as I can just use commands for that. I have an algorithm that works for players, but I do not know how to get the score from an entity (I have used scores on entities using command blocks before, so I know it is possible). My algorithm is here:

 

/**
	 * Get the specified score of the specified entity. Will create objective if it does not exist.
	 * 
	 * @param world
	 * @param entity
	 * @param objective
	 * @param value
	 */
	public static int getScore(World world, Entity entity, String objective) {
		return world.getScoreboard().getOrCreateScore(entity.getName(), world.getScoreboard().getObjective(objective)).getScorePoints();
	}
