[Opensim-users] Fucntion to read a landmark

[Gudule Lapointe]

I updated mantis http://opensimulator.org/mantis/view.php?id=5927 with an alternative patch to provide

	osGetInventoryDesc(string item) instead of osGetInventoryDesc(int type, int number)

Anyway, thank you ME Verhagen for pointing this workaround.

Still wondering if I can figure a real way to get the landmark properties without relying on description field…

So, this function is a really interesting workaround, but would not be 100% reliable to get landmark destination. (though I admit there is less chances to change desc of a landmark than other objects)
