CloseThe current mouse scroll delta. (Read Only)
Input.mouseScrollDelta is stored in a Vector2.y property. (The Vector2.x value is ignored.) Input.mouseScrollDelta can be positive (up) or negative (down). The value is zero when the mouse scroll is not rotated. Note that a mouse with a center scroll wheel is typical on a PC. Modern macOS
uses double finger movement up and down on the trackpad to emulate center scrolling. The value returned by mouseScrollDelta will need to be adjusted according to the scroll rate. In the example below a scale
of 0.1f
is used.
Note that mouseScrollDelta is read-only.

// Input.mouseScrollDelta example // // Create a sphere moved by a mouse scrollwheel or two-finger // slide on a Mac trackpad.
public class ExampleClass : MonoBehaviour { private Transform sphere; private float scale;
void Awake() { GameObject go = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Sphere); sphere = go.transform;
// create a yellow quad go = GameObject.CreatePrimitive(PrimitiveType.Quad); go.transform.Rotate(new Vector3(90.0f, 0.0f, 0.0f)); go.transform.localScale = new Vector3(4.0f, 4.0f, 4.0f); go.GetComponent<Renderer>().material.color = new Color(0.75f, 0.75f, 0.0f, 0.5f);
// change the camera color and position Camera.main.clearFlags = CameraClearFlags.SolidColor; Camera.main.transform.position = new Vector3(2, 1, 5); Camera.main.transform.Rotate(0, -160, 0);
scale = 0.1f; }
void OnGUI() { Vector3 pos = sphere.position; pos.y += Input.mouseScrollDelta.y * scale; sphere.position = pos; } }
