How would I make sure that the player has to be near a shelf to search it in my game

I have been making a game in Game maker 1.4 and can't figure out how to make it so that it is required for a player to have Collison with a specific object such as a shelf, desk, Etc. To search the items in it. I'm trying to implement a inventory system. im using the Gamemaker engine language to program this game. I have my player able to walk left and right to interact with objects. If anyone has any info about how I could check for player position/ Collison from my object please help me.

You should check for collision with objects in front first, if that works well, then you can reuse that check to see if it collides with a specific object.

If you use wall objects to check collission with, then you can make an "interactable object" using the wall object as a parent.

Collision by itself is complicated though, there are many ways you can go with it. I use collision_point() myself to check if objects are colliding in front (and side/back) of the character. https://manual.yoyogames.com/GameMaker_Language/GML_Reference/Movement_And_Collisions/Collisions/collision_point.htm

But that's just the start, you may want to search up collision handling for the game you're making to handle it smoother.
