Temporarily disable scroll to zoom

[eatabler0ck (ZAMN)]

The title is self explanatory. How to I temporarily disable the camera zooming in and out via the scroll wheel?

There are two ways of doing that, you can set the min/max zoom to the current zoom, or use ContextActionService to bind a function that if returns Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink will prevent roblox from scrolling and if return Enum.ContextActionResult.Pass will allow roblox to zoom-in/out.

local ContextActionService = game:GetService("ContextActionService")
local DisableScroll = true

ContextActionService:BindAction("DisableScroll",
	function ()
		return DisableScroll and Enum.ContextActionResult.Sink or Enum.ContextActionResult.Pass
	end, false, Enum.UserInputType.MouseWheel)

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 = (worksp…

Sorry for any typo, Im on phone lol

Here’s a “Hack” for the ones who are too lazy to code, Make a ScreenGui, Set ignoreGuiInset to true, add a ScrollingFrame and size it to {1,0},{1,0}, and then finally set the BackgroundTransparency and ScrollBarImageTransparency to 1.

This will prevent the player from scrolling but at the cost of moving your camera . Maybe someone will find this useful idk.

local player = game:GetService("Players").LocalPlayer
local character=player.Character or player.CharacterAdded:Wait()
local humanoid=character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")
--ready to do whatever in a local script.

local zMin, zSet, zMax = 5, 5, 5 --lock it to 5
player.CameraMinZoomDistance = zSet
player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = zSet task.wait(0.1)
player.CameraMinZoomDistance = zMin -- 0.5 smallest call
player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = zMax

--or as a on the fly function
function Zoom(zMin, zSet, zMax)
	player.CameraMinZoomDistance = zSet
	player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = zSet task.wait(0.1)
	player.CameraMinZoomDistance = zMin
	player.CameraMaxZoomDistance = zMax
end

Zoom(0.5, 5, 16)
