Checking for Inverted Overlapping

Does checking for an Inverted "Is Overlapping Object" (ie is not overlapping object) count as a collision check?

Could this chunk here be any better written?

Thanks dudes.

Also just noted this in the manual for "Breakpoints":

Note that Construct 2 bails out of events early if any condition is false. This means a breakpoint on the second condition won't pause the game if the first condition is false, since Construct 2 will immediately skip to checking the next event.

So that kinda answers my question anyway, since it wont be checking all 4 of those every tick, correct.. it will never get to them because:

• First i need to be overlapping a plant
• THEN that plant needs to be hasSprouted = 0 (so that eliminates a majority of any future checks right there)
• THEN I cant be crouching, so that cuts the check down also
• THEN I have to be not teleporting
• THEN I have to not be over a Henge, so finally it checks if im colliding with a Henge---but does it actually do a collision check here?

Is this all right so far?

An inverted overllap check is doing a collision check, and just return the inverted result, you could use the debbuger to verify that, also your logic of conditions not executing is correct, but that means that if you are overllaping nothing/eggs while on a plant that has sprouted, and that you are not teleporting nor crouching, the collisions checks will all be done

Cool thanks, trying to think if there's some way I can simplify / make sure im not checking for all that stuff every tick. Maybe ill see if its on screen first. then Check collision...? Maybe im overdoing it.
