Description

This would boost the discoverability of the feature, and allow players to make more accurate decisions on where they can teleport. Having range circles active all the time is quite intrusive as they clutter vision. That's why I think it's best to have them only appearing when needed.

This should also make it more similar to using regular deploy command to teleport

Research direction

Start by locating the chrono tank teleport handling and the regular deploy command used for teleporting. Check how range circles are displayed and how Alt key input is handled; done means holding Alt shows the chrono tank's teleport range without keeping the circle visible otherwise, with behavior matching the deploy command.
