    {
        var packetData = new byte[data.Length + 5];
        Array.Copy(BitConverter.GetBytes(type), packetData, 4);
        Array.Copy(data, 0, packetData, 4, data.Length);
        SendData(packetData);
    }

    {
        var packetData = new byte[data.Length + 5];
        Array.Copy(BitConverter.GetBytes(type), packetData, 4);
        Array.Copy(data, 0, packetData, 4, data.Length);
        SendData(packetData);
    }

What Array.Copy does? BitConverter,GetBytes? Can someone make that but in Python? i already tried googling

the first line creates an empty array with the size of data's length plus 5 bytes. then copies the bytes of type into that array and specifies the length to be 4 is this a Minecraft server software? the second array copy copies data from index 0 to packet data from index 4 with data's length

so its:

A = []
A.insert(type)
SendData(A)

A = []
A.insert(type)
SendData(A)

huh no

Starlk•2y ago

it has been quite a while since I did anything in python

wfsecOP•2y ago

frick

Starlk•2y ago

does .insert convert type into bytes?

wfsecOP•2y ago

a.insert(bytes(type)) ?

Starlk•2y ago

dynamic typed languages confuse me ;-; ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

wfsecOP•2y ago

ok frick

John•2y ago

we arent gonna write your whole code for you. Array.Copy copies from first array to second, optionally with a start point and a length

wfsecOP•2y ago

a = ['okay', 'smh'] c sharp magic b = a print(b)

['okay', 'smh']

Well, now I know why I'm not doing any Python It would be something like this:

type = 1
data = bytes([1, 2, 3])

array = bytearray(len(data) + 5)
array[0:4] = type.to_bytes(4)
array[4:] = data

print(array)

type = 1
data = bytes([1, 2, 3])

array = bytearray(len(data) + 5)
array[0:4] = type.to_bytes(4)
array[4:] = data

print(array)

to_bytes can also accept little and big endian, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#int.to_bytes. Good luck.
