How do I check if two objects are ACTIVELY colliding?

Hello Construct forums! I have another question:

How do I check if two objects are actively colliding?

I have an RPG game where the player can walk up to objects and press a key to interact with them. The issue is, the game must check if the player is actively next to/colliding with an object in order for this to work. This already seems to work with non-solid objects, but with solids, I cannot check if the player is actively next to them without using an additional overlapping tile sprite. Is there a more efficient way of doing this?

The overlapping at offset condition may be of use, but only directionally. Using a helper sprite is cleaner in my opinion.

Pick nearest object sufficient enough or utilize expression comparing two values by distance. Both way should applicable with any behavior.
