yes but I could only get it to work with limited functions
use the command

t=mousez()

the problem for me is that it is either on or off
on = 99
off = 0

it didn't "scroll" like it should

i used it like

if mousez()>0 then t=t+1

the problem with this command is that when you turn it on by scrolling it keeps working even when you quit scrolling,
you have to turn it off by scrolling in the opposite direction

the scroll will turn it off and on, so it is either always on or always off

hope it helps

the scroll wheel button is button 4. so

if mouseclick()=4

will detect the scroll mouse button.

..

you're probably wondering why it's 4 and not 3.

well it's because button 1 is 1, 2 is 2, 3 is 4, 4 would be 8 if you had one, button 5 would be 16, 6 would be 32 etc. this is so you can check for combinations of buttons. so if you want to see if button 1 AND 2 are being pressed, you can use 3, which is 1+2. button 1 and 3 would be 5, which is 1+4.

if you just want to check for a button and don't want other buttons to interfere with it, you can do this:

mc=mouseclick()

if mc && 1
`this works if left button is pushed no matter what other buttons are pushed
endif

if mc && 4
`same here, except for hte scroll wheel button
endif

stop looking at me!
