I've decided to pick up a game again (For who knows how long) and recently added a little notifier in the HUD that alerts the player of the distance between him and the enemy. It works more or less like it should, but still, there is a problem.

Objects: 1.) A counter that is set to the distance between the player and the enemy using the Advanced Direction Object. 2.) The notifier, which has 4 different animations: pale green (safe), yellow (caution), red (very close), and dark red (in view).

Current coding method: The notifier turns green if the counter is <= or >= to 1500, yellow if the counter is <= or >= to 1000, red if the counter is <= or >= to 300, and dark red if the counter is <= or >= to 100. It works, but not as intended.

Desired Result: The goal is to get the colors to change, not when the counter hits 100, 300, 1000, and 1500 exactly, but as well as anywhere between those numbers (Pale green: 1500-1001 | Yellow: 1000-301 | Red: 300-101 | Dark Red: 100-0) Through several minutes or speculation, nothing came to mind.

Any help is appreciated!

EDIT: Clarified a few segments that may have been confusing and unnecessary capitalization.

Your <= or >= system is confusing me. Perhaps I misunderstood, but it seems as simple as Counter is <= 1500 + >= 1000, change color to green, etc? I don't get the problem if that's not what you're looking for.
