digital_glitch

type: "digital_glitch"

The frame tears into horizontal bands with RGB-split spikes, in bursts (slot-gated, not constant tearing).

Fields

Every screen effect also accepts screen_layer and the shared definition fields (duration, easing, loop, persistent, fade_ticks, sound).

Field	Type	Default	Meaning
block	float	0.06	Band height, screen-height fractions (0.01..0.5)
displacement	float	0.08	Max sideways band shift, screen-width fractions (0..0.5)
rate	float	6	Glitch quanta per second (slots)
chroma	float	0.5	RGB-split strength inside glitched bands (0..1)
seed	float	0	Pattern offset - change for a different tear layout
chance	float	0.4	Fraction of slots that burst (0..1)
intensity	float	1 (fades to 0)	Overall strength (0..1)
