Retrieving relevant record from a relationship - laravel

Question

I am allowing user to search by type which is passed into a function:
public function typeSearch($type)
{
$events = Event::where('type', $type)
->with('entities')
->get();
return view('events.searchResultEvents', compact('events'));
}
Which works nearly as it's supposed to do, it does retrieve the entities but not the right entities for example:
Event id = 25, entity_id = 2 it retrieves: Entities id = 25 while it should be 2.
How can I change this so it retrieves the right record?
Example::
Looking at the image, Event is = 25 and entity_id = 1. entity_id is a foreign key which is linked to id on 'entities' table
From Relations we have 'entities' with id = 25, while it should be 1 as entity_id = 1
Event model::
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Laravel\Scout\Searchable;
class Event extends Model
{
protected $table = 'events';
public $timestamps = true;
use Searchable;
public function entities()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Entity', 'id');
}
public function users()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\User', 'id');
}
public function events()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\DirtyEvent', 'id');
}
}

I think there's problem in your relations method.
public function entities()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Entity', 'id'); // Ithink you need to change it
}
Change that 'id' in your second parameter to 'entity_id'
public function entities()
{
return $this->belongsTo('App\Entity', 'entity_id');
}
The second parameter is used like this, I don't know how to explain it in technical but here's an example:
$event = Event::find(1);
//this will return the events with id=1 and that data have entity_id=2
$entities = $event->entities;
//If you set the second parameter in your Event model to 'id',
//this $entities variable contain the data from entities table with id=1, because your $event id=1
//But if you set the second parameter to 'entity_id'
//this $entities variable contain the data from entities with the id=2, because your $event entity_id=2
