SetMouseIsLocked is working weirdly

So, as you will see in the script and in the video, SetMouseIsLocked is working pretty weirdly, and I can’t figure out why.

What I want to acquire is when mouse button2 is down, SetMouseIsLocked will be enabled, and when the button2 is up, SetMouseLocked will be disabled.

The problem is that it gets enabled when mouse button 2 is down, but it does NOT get disabled when mouse button 2 is up. Any suggestions?

Note don’t read the whole code, as it is the camera module script. Just read the lines marked with an asterisk (*)

--[[
	CameraModule - This ModuleScript implements a singleton class to manage the
	selection, activation, and deactivation of the current camera controller,
	character occlusion controller, and transparency controller. This script binds to
	RenderStepped at Camera priority and calls the Update() methods on the active
	controller instances.

	The camera controller ModuleScripts implement classes which are instantiated and
	activated as-needed, they are no longer all instantiated up front as they were in
	the previous generation of PlayerScripts.
