How to check if a condition is not met in Scratch? Preview

For more complex conditions, such as whether it is NOT touching a color or whether it is NOT touching the mouse, we need more blocks.

Conditions placed inside of this block are changed so that they return "True" if the condition is NOT met and "False" if the condition is met. If this block has a check "is the sprite touching something yellow", then the check would be changed to "is the sprite NOT touching something yellow".
