Use this method to replace an existing sticker in a sticker set with a new one. The method is equivalent to calling deleteStickerFromSet, then addStickerToSet, then setStickerPositionInSet. Returns *True* on success.

| name | String | Yes | Sticker set name |
| old_sticker | String | Yes | File identifier of the replaced sticker |
| sticker | InputSticker | Yes | A JSON-serialized object with information about the added sticker. If exactly the same sticker had already been added to the set, then the set remains unchanged. |
