Sets a vector2 value in a buffer at the specified position.
Take note that only primitive data types (booleans, integers, unsigned integers and floats) can be used as elements in an array buffer. Because of this, you cannot use this function with an array buffer.
The four-argument version is only used by structured buffers; byte address buffers will ignore the offsetInElement argument.
A vector2 is the same as writing two float values after each other. Corresponds to the HLSL data type float2.

DX11 SET BUFFER VECTOR2 buffer, offset, [offsetInElement], vector2

buffer

Dword
The buffer to write the vector2 value to.

offset

Dword
The offset within the buffer to write the value to. If called for a structured buffer or an array buffer, this corresponds to the element id to set. For a byte address buffer it is the offset in bytes from the beginning of the buffer. Note that byte address buffers can only be read from at 4-byte aligned addresses by the GPU.

[Optional] offsetInElement

Dword
The offset within the current struct of the given element. Only relevant for structured buffers to allow writing struct entries with multiple data types. Ignored for all other buffer types.

vector2

Dword
The vector2 to write to the given position within the specified buffer.

This function does not return a value.
