To do that, create **a new Blueprint Class Asset**.

<div align="center"><img src="https://3312042618-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2F9sVaJpWJhPbmscipukhh%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-03038fb3083396a4cfeff38579b7b3a7c0bd6e1e%2F240424-CustomTimeCode.png?alt=media" alt=""></div>

Type *LightAct* into the search box and then select **LightActTimeCode** as the parent class.

Name the new asset in any way you want, but remember the name as you'll need it in the next step.
