enemy object doesn't go to edge of left side of platform but goes the whole way to 1/2 a sprite off the right!

hsp = dir * movespeed;
vsp += grav;

// H Collisions
if( place_meeting(x + hsp, y, obj_wall) ){
    while( !place_meeting( x + sign(hsp), y, obj_wall ) )
    {
        x += sign(hsp);
    }
     hsp = 0;
  
   dir *= -1;
  
}
x += hsp;

// V Collisions
if( place_meeting(x, y + vsp, obj_wall) )
{
    while( !place_meeting( x, y + sign(vsp), obj_wall ) )
      {  y += sign(vsp); }
        
   vsp = 0;

Why do you have dir*= -1 in the horizontal collision?

What sort of platform game are you making?

Can you provide more details.

if i'm right in thinking that you mean the object turns around at the wrong time, try replacing:

( !position_meeting( x + ( sprite_width / 2 * sign(dir) ), bbox_bottom + 8, obj_wall ) )

with

( !position_meeting( x + ( sprite_width / 2 ) + ( sprite_width / 2 * sign(dir) ), bbox_bottom + 8, obj_wall ) )

i get the feeling your sprite origin is not set to the center, and position_meeting checks a single point if i remember correctly.
what's happening if this is the case is that you're checking half of the sprite width to the left of the object ( which is floating space to the left ), and half of the sprite width to the right ( which is just halfway into the object ).
alternatively you could just set the sprite's x origin to the middle of the sprite, but if you already have a lot of code that accounts for the x, y being in the top left, then it'll require updating all of that too.

[SOLVED!]
THANKS SAFFEINE I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU. YOUR ARE THE BEST PROGRAMMER EVER HAHA!
