System -> Every tick does nothing? [RESOLVED]

I have a very simple event:

System -> Every tick -> Player -> Simulate pressing right

but it does nothing.

I tried

System -> Every tick -> Player -> Rotate 2

but it does nothing either.

I can't get the every tick to work at all. When ever I move the action to a "on mouse button down" event, it works like a charm, but the "Every tick" doesn't work. Am I missing something here?

EDIT:

Free version, only so many event sheets, doh.
