ScrollTrigger markers are not removed when killed

[HawkMusician]

Hello everyone,

 

Just a quick question to know if when killing the ScrollTrigger instance, it's normal the markers are left on the page? This seems weird since when refreshing (resize or manual) the markers do repaint if there has been a change... 

 

Thanks!

Hey HawkMusician. You're right, the markers are not currently removed if it's killed. But does it really matter? Markers are just for development purposes and adding code to remove them would add more file size to the file for everyone always. I'm not saying that we won't end up adding this to ScrollTrigger, just wondering why you'd say it's something that needs to be fixed

Yeah, I'm with Zach - markers should never be in a production site anyway -  they're purely for visualizing during development so I'm not inclined to add extra kb to make them go away upon kill(). But let us know if we're missing an important factor here that makes you think it's worthwhile.

Thanks for the reply. That is what I thought, and I might have expressed myself badly, in no way is this a bug and I can understand no need to remove the markers when in development. 

 

It's just that I will be using them for users editing on a backend, thus the use of activating and deactivating in real time the markers. But they're easily removable since nicely coded into the html. 

 

Thanks for your replies!

Hi all.. just wondering how can I disable the markers.. they seem to be live on my test site when I publish and I can't remove them. Would I remove them by adding something like.   markers: false, ?

Just remove markers:true
