How to "search" an object

Hello, I am trying to code something that will, when the player stands on a certain object and press a key (shift for example), it would do something (for example, displaying a text).

I could use "Is overlapping" but since I have multiple objects I wondered if there is a way to make things faster. Thank you in advance for your answers :)

You mean is gonna overlap multiple instances of the object at the same Time?

if not, Player is overlapping object is fine as you gonna use it in a subevent under a trigger

"On Shift Pressed"

Subevent: Player is overlapping object

but an alternative if you don't wanna use overlaps you can use "Pick the Nearest"

On Shift Pressed

subevent >>object "Pick the Nearest" to the (Player.X, Player.Y)

>>Distance is Less than (your Value) >>>do your Actions

An alternative

On Shift Pressed

subevent >>you can use "Line Of Sight" to the object

Thank you very much for the quick answer

"Is overlapping" is probably actually already the fastest way. It uses collision cells to avoid even checking far-away objects. Other conditions like pick nearest/furthest check all instances, even if they are far away, so are potentially slower.
