The movement works fine for anything more than 2 pixels per frame. Anything less than that, and the character gets stuck on wall sides.

if right
{
image_xscale = 1
image_speed = 0.3
if place_free(x + var_speed, y)
x = x + var_speed
else
move_contact_solid(0,var_speed)
}

if left
{
image_xscale = -1
image_speed = 0.3
if place_free(x - var_speed, y)
x = x - var_speed
else
move_contact_solid(180,var_speed)
}

Trying to jump in the opposite direction as the wall plays the jump animation but still doesn't move anywhere. Jumping while facing the wall will jump, but you still can't move horizontally unless you jump higher than the wall.

I'd say it's a problem with your collision mask. Make your collision mask independent of the direction the player is facing and independent of the animation playing. You should then be fine.

I'm already doing that.

No, you're not. image_xscale affects collision masks. Changing image_xscale to -1 will change the position of the mask, unless you got it perfectly symmetrical around the mask's origin (Unlikely). Try using something other than image_xscale (a variable you made for instance) and drawing the sprite yourself. Then you'll have collisions and graphics independent.

When I had this problem it was pretty much always that a collision mask was not centered on the origin correctly, or it was slightly too large.
