Server Suggestion Option to disable crosshair when ADS with zoom scopes

Suggestion Title: Option to disable crosshair when ADS with zoom scopes
Suggestion Description: As of right now sniper scopes do not line up with the Garry's Mod crosshair. This is very apparent with the Elcan sight and your shots always go to the left of the crosshair. While I don't really know how hard or easy to fix this issue is I think it's for the best if we could just introduce an option to disable the crosshair when ADS with a zoom capable scope. Once you go out of ADS simply re-enable the crosshair so we can just use the sniper scope to more reliably hit our shots.

I'm sure a bug report can also be made about this issue but I think a feature like this would also be neat. Edit: Apparently this is an issue with FOV. Remind you of Tarkov, anyone?

Place it under the same category in F1>Options right under zoom scope sensitivity.

Why should this be added?:
-Easier to land shots, no more muscle memory from aiming via crosshair when you suddenly remember that you have to adjust aim to the sniper scope instead of your crosshair.
-Aesthetically more pleasing if that is what you prefer.

What negatives could this have?:
-I potentially see no issues, it just disables crosshair for those that already have one enabled to fix a issue with zoom capable scopes.

What problem would this suggestion solve?: Land your shots better due to the current misalignment of zoom capable scopes and your Garry's Mod crosshair.

I believe it's an FOV issue. Scopes render the game again but with a lower FOV. So there could be some conflict there. I fully support this suggestion

A simple script that enables or disables your Garry's Mod crosshair when you hold right click. The script comes disabled by default, comes with a toggle functionality when pressing a button (the default button is P). This is useful if you want to keep your crosshair function as normal when using any other weapon but when you are switching to sniper scopes you press P to hide your crosshair whenever you ADS.
Right click should function as normal with the script enabled or disabled.

Leave this in your autoexec.cfg or else you will have to run this everytime from your CFG folder if you make it a standalone .cfg file

Code:

// Script behaviour when enabled
alias +rightclick_on "+attack2; crosshair 0"
alias -rightclick_on "-attack2; crosshair 1"

// Script behaviour when disabled
alias +rightclick_off "+attack2"
alias -rightclick_off "-attack2"

// Enable the script (activates crosshair hide on right click)
alias script_enable "bind mouse2 +rightclick_on; alias script_toggle script_disable; echo ADS Crosshair is now: ENABLED"

// Disable the script (normal right click only)
alias script_disable "bind mouse2 +rightclick_off; alias script_toggle script_enable; echo ADS Crosshair is now: DISABLED"

// Replace p with whichever button you want
bind p script_toggle

// This script starts disabled by default. Replace with script_enable if you wish to enable this script whenever it is executed or through autoexec.cfg
script_disable
