How do you temporarily unbind/rebind the scroll-wheel from its core zoom functionality?

Since you are still using the MouseWheel, unbinding it would not solve your problem.

Since it’s just the in/out zooming of the scroll wheel, we can just set the MaxZoomDistance and MinZoomDistance of the Players’ camera to the current zoom, and change them back after its closed.

Now, getting the current zoom of the Players’ camera isn’t a feature that Roblox has, but it is easily calculated.

local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer -- Get the player (for the camera)
local currentZoom = (workspace.CurrentCamera.CoordinateFrame.p - player.Character.Head.Position).magnitude (calc. currentzoom)
local LastMaxZoom = player.CameraMaxZoomDistance -- save the current settings
local LastMinZoom = player.CameraMinZoomDistance  -- ^

local isDisabled = false
function ToggleScroll() -- simple on/off function for the zoomies
    if isDisabled then -- Scroll is active
        isDisabled = false
        player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = LastMaxZoom
        player.CameraMinZoomDistance = LastMinZoom
    else -- scroll is inactive
        isDisabled = true
        player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = currentZoom
        player.CameraMinZoomDistance = currentZoom
    end
end

I know you want to do ContextActionService, but I honestly have no idea what the bind ActionName would be for the in/out on the scroll wheel anyhow. This is probably the only way to go about it right now.
