Description

The engine does not have a universal method for updating a part of texture2dArray.

It would be great to have this under the hood, perhaps as an extends method.

An example of such a method: https://github.com/AlexAPPi/playcanvas-terrain-system/blob/main/src/ScriptHelpers/TerrainPatches.mts#L22
