GML My enemies are stuck in the ground (SOLVED)

[Vincemon]

Hello! ;3

I'm working on a 2D-Platformer and I've created an enemy object. They can be defeated and they could walk from wall to wall. But they don't. When they collide with the ground they turn left and right quickly. And I don't know why.

This is my code in the Step event:

vsp = vsp + grv

//HORIZONTAL COLLISION

if place_meeting(x+hsp,y,oWall)

{

while (!place_meeting(x+sign(hsp),y,oWall))

{

x = x + sign(hsp);

}

hsp = -hsp

}

x = x + hsp;

//VERTICAL COLLISION

if place_meeting(x,y+vsp,oWall)

{

while (!place_meeting(x,y+sign(vsp),oWall))

{

y = y + sign(vsp);

}

vsp = 0

}

y = y + vsp;

And in the Create event:

walksp = 3;

hsp = walksp;

vsp = 0;

grv = 0.4;

Please help! Why are they stuck and how can I fix this? Please comment if you have any questions. I can send more Information if needed

I put all the code you gave in a fresh project and it worked just fine. This means something else is happening. Give the rest of the code for the enemy.
There is a fair chance it has to do with the sprite's mask.

try changing the place meeting for horizontal to y-1 chances are your enemy is one pixel inside the ground or so so it detects the floor when looking for walls

A suggestion, if the enemy does not jump or fall from the platforms, eliminates the part of the code that has to do with gravity and vertical collision..... one more suggestion is that you use the player's object as a basis to create the physics of the enemies.
