 				Add texture rect regions as an animation to the [CanvasItem]'s draw commands.
 				You need to pass an Array of Arrays, the inner Arrays are the frames. The 0th argument is the frame time, the rest are the arguments of [member canvas_item_add_texture_rect_region] in order.
 				This Animation might lag behind by a frame sometimes, using it is not recommended for highly precise gameplay related things, it's more suited for decorations.
