Okay, this took me ~1 hr 30 min. You will need to use ContextActionService. I don't advise using Mouse.WheelForward or Mouse.WheelBackward, as it can cause errors and it should not be used in new work. AspectType 151 — 5y

Keep in mind: only do this for first person games because with third person games, you use the scroll wheel to move camera in/out.

You can can use the Mouse.WheelForward and Mouse.WheelBackward events to get which direction the scroll wheel is moving.

I'll make a short example of how to set this up so it moves through 10 slots (not actually though it's just a variable)

local currentSlot = 1

local Players = game:GetService("Players")
local Mouse = Players.LocalPlayer:GetMouse()

Mouse.WheelForward:Connect(
    function()
        if currentSlot < 10 then
            currentSlot = currentSlot + 1
        else
            currentSlot = 1
        end
    end
)

Mouse.WheelBackwards:Connect(
    function()
        if currentSlot > 1 then
            currentSlot = currentSlot - 1
        else
            currentSlot = 10
        end
    end
)

you should instead be using the mod operator. currentSlot = currentSlot % max + 1 davidgingerich 603 — 5y
