    So, a while agooooo, I had a fabulous idea for a kit called "Glitch", that could walk through walls. The only issue? It was uncodeable (at the time).
    Recently I realized, instead of waiting for a time when it could be codeable, why not change it, just a little?
    So here is the reimagined Kit Glitch!


    Kit: Glitch
    Starting Items: Eye of Ender, renamed to have a scrolling, random name. The ‘Glitch’.
    Special abilities: Scrolling over your Glitch will turn you intangible, allowing you to walk through walls.

    The length of your glitching is measured by your EXP bar. When not in use, it acts like normal, but when you scroll onto the Glitch, it turns into a measurement of how long you have left.
    A full EXP bar lasts for 7 seconds, and it takes 20 seconds to recharge from empty.
    Even when not actively using your power, you emit random green sparks and particles. When using your power, they increase, and hang in the air for a second, leaving a trail of glitched world behind you.
    When walking through walls, you cannot jump.
    Shifting will drop you down a block, so you can glitch downward as well.
    You still take damage when glitched, but your knockback is reduced. You do not deal damage or knockback when glitched.
    Projectiles cannot hit you when you are glitched. Instead, they travel through. (Or something else to simulate that effect)

    Pros:
    -You can escape through a solid wall, or ambush someone the same way.
    -You can use your power to make creative traps, leading people to their doom.
    -You can travel through dense forests and jungles at high speeds, rather than being slowed by them.
    -Lava does not damage you

    Cons:
    -You can easily suffocate yourself if you are not careful
    -Your knockback is reduced
    -You cannot travel upwards
    -Your glitch is obvious

    Strategies:
    -Create devilish traps and ambushes with your power and those of other kits.
    -Hunt near jungles and mountains to have an easy escape route
    -Probably not usually the best idea to tower

    Tell me what you think! Is this a better version?
    Should it still take lava damage, even though that is a block? What about projectile damage?
    I love the new way to submit kit ideas, so I'm hoping to perfect it here before submitting it there. :smile:

    Maybe this could be a buff to acrobat.

    The kit itself is too OP. You could make certain ways to just go through a wall. resoup come back and easy win, I love the idea but walking through blocks has always been sketchy. We don't need more running kits :stuck_out_tongue: trust me...

    Well there is the fact that while you are gone, they can resoup too.
    Mostly I wanted a way for the Glitch to use its few seconds in the best way. But would it be better if it had slowness when walking through blocks, to make it less for running and more for trapping?

    I don't think kits should touch the xp bar, it could confuse people now that enchanting is coming back. I like the concept tho

    Never assume another player will resoup. When you are running that person chasing you will be on a major offensive, meaning if you had time to resoup, they used that time to catch up most likely. The kit is creative and I can see it on another gamemode, but not HG.

    Yeah I was thinking about that. I didn't want a generic cooldown though. Perhaps a different way to do something like that? Like the number of EoE or something?

    Well, that is a pretty good point.
    I do tend to overlook soup stuff, cause I'm a nosoup main, so thanks for bringing that up! I would hope that if someone disappeared through a wall, you would take that moment to refill. But stuff like that might not come naturally.... Hmmm.....

    I edited it somewhat! Tell me, is it complete? What should I change? Before, I had it so you could only run through 1 block walls and floors, when you were holding your Glitch. I tried to simulate that effect with the timer and the EXP bar.

    I feel like the cooldown should either be a lot longer or you should have some sort of a limit as to how many blocks you can travel through. At the moment it seems as though one could shove themselves into the ground to escape from a fight and just break a block so they don't suffocate, and 15 seconds later do it again. Maybe have some sort of titan-esque cooldown?

    Overall I like the idea though I think Blink does similar if not the exact same thing this kit can do but better. The only problem with blink is that you can't really pinpoint where you're going to go, but you can travel up and through blocks much faster.

    Hmmm... Before, my idea was that they could only move through one block walls (with no cooldown). But that was uncodable or something. However, do you happen to know if something like, limiting the amount of blocks that can be traveled through at once, if that would be possible?
    We actually had a really long discussion, on my first post, about Blink, Flash, and Glitch. :grinning: It was eventually decided that Glitch was to Blink what Blink was to Flash: Similar, but different enough to work. For Flash, its more about quick escapes and quick travel. Blink is almost the same, but in smaller, more controllable increments. And Glitch has no extra movement through teleportation, but no cooldown either, making it even more maneuverable and quick to react, so this one is more for traps and ambush. Almost like an opposite acrobat. (There are some interesting team options with those two :grinning:)
    Of course, that would only be if there was a way to limit the amount of blocks that could be traveled through.

    If it does need to be a little better, but different, to make it up to par with Blink, it could have another, small, passive ability, to give it just a little edge.

    I want to send this in, but I also want to make sure it is ready! Does anyone else have any complaints or questions about kit Glitch?

    I don't know if we are ready for another running kit.

    Not taking into account any other kit, do you think this kit has gone through all the refining it needs?

    What does it do now? Is the original post accurate?

    It should be. I changed it up.

    Anyone else? Or should I just send it in?
