How do I detect the outside/edge blocks

Hello, so i wanted to kinda detect the blocks that are on the outside or the inside like in the picture below:

Could this be done?

I would do this by checking coordinates of player, if player.x < box.x or player.y < box.y etc. then do what prevents from going out from box. I'm new in Construct2, so probably there are more better ways to do this.
