Sorry, I deleted the previous post as i have one with a slight update and i could use some more advice...

The ladders work almost perfectly except for that frustrating hop when you reach the top. When the player's head collides with the pink tile at the top, he is supposed to instantly move up to right at the top of the ladder's 2way tile. The 2 way tile is nonsolid if you are under it, and solid if above. The issue lies in the line of code setting this off:
let me break that down first.
If onladder true and vspeed -1: If you are in ladder state and climbing up. GM is weird in that the y axis uses negative numbers to indicate UP, rather than positive ones.
if place meeting x,y,climbtick: climbtick is that pink tile that your head collides with.
Y=ladder.y-26: the player's vertical position is set to instantly move to 26 pixels higher than the top of the ladder.
On ladder=false,etc: resets your state to the normal one and sets a five frame delay before you can climb a ladder again. I set this so you cant get stuck if you jump off a ladder while still holding up or down. 5 frames at 60fps is a hardly noticeable block.
The issue lies with if place_meeting (x,y,obj_climbtick){y=ladder.y-26.
The y position is too high, and valo actually enters his falling animation for a few frames. Now heres where things get interesting. 26 pixels is too high. 25 is too low. At 25, the player will fall as if they hit the jump button, as you dont go high enough to make the 2 way platform become solid.
I've been trying things all night and im out of ideas. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
