I'm been having a struggle over here, and I don't get it.

What I want... there are 5 objects: Player01, entrance01, exit01, block, and exit_parent.

exit01 has a parent known as exit_parent
exit01 follows player01's y coordinates.

if player01 touches entrance01 then player01 transports to exit01 ONLY if exit_parent .power == 1

if exit01 touches block then exit_parent .power = 0
but if exit01 no longer touches block then exit_parent .power = 1'

I've used this code in the step event in exit_parent...

if (!place_meeting(x,y,block))
{power = 1}
else
{power = 0}

I've been using everything I've known and it just won't click.

I'm using Game Maker Studio... Tell me if there are some bug that is preventing me from getting what I want D:
Thanks in advance and God Bless!!!

Let's rule out the simplest solution first.

By any chance, does your exit01 object have it's own step event code?

If so, it won't fire off it's parent's.
