I have made a thread on this before, and it was said to have been fixed, but it's not.

 

Basically, when there are two NPCs on a tile and you try to interact with one of them, nothing will happen. It works fine if the closest NPC is on its own tile or if one moves.

NPC fishingSpotNPC = closestNPC(2722);
 
if (fishingSpotNPC != null) {
fishingSpotNPC.interact("Use-rod");
}

Loop trough the object in the region and check if it has the id you want.

Example:

 

 

Iterator<NPC> it = client.getLocalNPCs().iterator();
while (it.hasNext()){
	NPC n = it.next();
	if(n.getId() == 2722 && fishingSpotNPC == null){
		fishingSpotNPC = n;

	}
}

It won't find the npc the closest to your character but it is an easy fix.

or you can try to use this

   public NPC getNPC(int... ids) {
		List<NPC> npcs = client.getLocalNPCs();
		int d = 999;
		NPC temp = null;
		for (NPC n : npcs) {
			if (n != null) {
				for (int id : ids) {
					if (n.getId() == id) {
						if (distance(n) < 15 && !n.isUnderAttack()
								&& distance(n) < d) {
							d = .distance(n);
							temp = n;
						}
					}
				}
			}
		}
		return temp;
	}
	

I have an alternate, but it's not as responsive as the API is with finding spots that aren't grouped together.
