For some reason my camera controller continues to drift after mouse movement has stopped.

For some reason my camera controller continues to drift after mouse movement has stopped.
I can't seem to figure out why this is happening or how to stop it, since I'm new to using Godot

Code for the camera controller:

extends RigidBody3D

var mouse_sensitivity := 0.01
var yaw_input := 0.0
var pitch_input := 0.0

# Called when the node enters the scene tree for the first time.
func _ready():
	# Lock mouse to game window
	Input.set_mouse_mode(Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED)

# Called every frame. 'delta' is the elapsed time since the previous frame.
func _process(delta):
	# Adjust camera yaw using mouse input
	$YawPivot.rotate_y(yaw_input)
	# Adjust camera pitch using mouse input
	$YawPivot/PitchPivot.rotate_x(pitch_input)
	
	# Lock camera pitch between 0.75 and -0.75 radians
	$YawPivot/PitchPivot.rotation.x = clamp(
		$YawPivot/PitchPivot.rotation.x,
		-0.75, # Negative pitch limit
		0.75   # Positive pitch limit
	)

func _unhandled_input(event: InputEvent):
	# Get mouse movements when captured
	if event is InputEventMouseMotion:
		if Input.get_mouse_mode() == Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED:
			yaw_input = - event.relative.x * mouse_sensitivity
			pitch_input = - event.relative.y * mouse_sensitivity

@CrebboElodie Minor nitpick but

		if Input.get_mouse_mode() == Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED:
			yaw_input = - event.relative.x * mouse_sensitivity
			pitch_input = - event.relative.y * mouse_sensitivity

Does GDScript not have the operator =-? It's hard for me to tell what you're trying to do here. This is a bit ambiguous, usually I try to use parenthesis. there are a couple of interpretations for this:

		if Input.get_mouse_mode() == Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED:
			yaw_input =- (event.relative.x * mouse_sensitivity)
			pitch_input =- (event.relative.y * mouse_sensitivity)

		if Input.get_mouse_mode() == Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED:
			yaw_input = (-event.relative.x) * mouse_sensitivity
			pitch_input = (-event.relative.y) * mouse_sensitivity

		if Input.get_mouse_mode() == Input.MOUSE_MODE_CAPTURED:
			yaw_input = -(event.relative.x * mouse_sensitivity)
			pitch_input = -(event.relative.y * mouse_sensitivity)

@[email protected] @[email protected] GDScript has -= but they're not trying to do that

@[email protected] @[email protected] yeah. i mean just personally i always try to show what order i am trying to process things. it probably isn't even related to the root issue.
