Please Implement More Interfaces!

XRudumentaryInformation that has getID() and getName() methods that return their respective values. This is to be extended onto the interface of XObjectDefinition, XNPCDefinition, XGroundItem and XPlayerDefinition, and any other interface that require either/both information.

Why? I'm trying to make a generic-orientated getter class that provides functions such as: getNearest(RS2Object, NPC, GroundItem or Player). The problem is, there's 4 different interfaces defining similar attributes, but having methods kept isolated from an otherwise-should-be common source. Why have 4 different getName() methods in 4 different interfaces when you can add a 5th interface and extend those attributes through? It would be seriously convenient since I won't have to handle casting each input to their specific type before I can actually get the getID() and getName() values. Not to forget; it could be applied to the Item class. This could make debugging a lot simpler--if you're debugging entity/item names/ids.

Currently, my generic-orientated class accepts Entity inherited instances only, but I still need to analyse the instance of each Entity and cast it to their respective types to get access to the #getID() functions.

If some information can't be provided from the attributes, i.e., Player doesn't have a getID() function, be creative! Return the player's PID and treat it like the ID.

Last one (though not an interface request):

Please add setters for Position's coordinates. Don't make the x, y, z values constant. Make them manipulable.

Add a translate(x, y, z) and translate(x, y) methods to Position. These would directly manipulate the instance's coordinates.

Add a derive(x, y, z) and derive(x, y) methods to Position. These would return a new instance of what translate would return.

It would be great if Position is dynamic.
