Sets the texture's path.

+ Creates an update link between two textures, similar to how [ViewportTexture]s operate. When the base texture is the texture of a [Viewport], every time the viewport renders a new frame, the proxy texture automatically receives an update.
+ For example, this code links a generic [ImageTexture] to the texture output of the [Viewport] using the VisualServer API:
+ [codeblock]
+ func _ready():
+ var viewport_rid = get_viewport().get_viewport_rid()
+ var viewport_texture_rid = VisualServer.viewport_get_texture(viewport_rid)
+
+ var proxy_texture = ImageTexture.new()
+ var viewport_texture_image_data = VisualServer.texture_get_data(viewport_texture_rid)
+
+ proxy_texture.create_from_image(viewport_texture_image_data)
+ var proxy_texture_rid = proxy_texture.get_rid()
+ VisualServer.texture_set_proxy(proxy_texture_rid, viewport_texture_rid)
+
+ $TextureRect.texture = proxy_texture
+ [/codeblock]
