How do I create a lock-on system?

I would like for the player to be able to press a button and it would lock onto the closest enemy and stay locked on until the enemy dies, or the player selects a different enemy. I've got the initial locking on handled but can't figure out how to keep the player locked on. I'm indicating the lock-on at the moment with just a black box above their head. If anyone can help that would be great.

To keep locking on in general you say 'pick nearest' enemy to player (a condition on the enemy object), set black box position to enemy.

I have done this but I am trying to find a way to keep the black box on the enemy while it moves.

If you use the event above running every tick then it should be setting position to the enemy constantly as it moves.

Nope, I tried it but it only runs once. I have it running every tick but it still doesn't follow the enemy.
