UE5 zoom ability tutorial : look sensitivity, outline widget and hiding the reticle in Lyra

You'll be making a binocular ability in this tutorial. We'll go over adding a scaling binocular widget outline, setting up mouse sensitivity and as a bonus, how to hide/remove the crosshair reticle when weapons are unequipped or while using the binocular ability.

Engine version : Unreal Engine 5.3
Project based off : Lyra Sample Game 5.3
