How can I detect mouse wheel movement and determine direction?

I tried researching UserInputService some more, and I tried comparing input types, but I can’t seem to get my code to run

I’m trying to figure out how I can test if the player moved their mouse wheel, and also get the direction. (up or down.)

Thanks

With the User input service you need to use InputChanged (not InputBegan) to detect mouse wheel movement and with the Z position of the input you can determine if the mouse wheel is being moved up or down. So for example:

 local UIS = game:GetService("UserInputService")

UIS.InputChanged:Connect(function(input)
	if input.UserInputType == Enum.UserInputType.MouseWheel then
		 if input.Position.Z > 0 then
			print("Mouse Wheel UP")		
	     	else
		   print("Mouse Wheel Down")		
		end
	end
end)
