   - The new class gets created as a combo of its header (.h) and a source file (.cpp). All in the Source (sub)folder of your project. You should now see them in the IDE of your choice:{{ :en:toolworks:docs:apparatus:vscode-new-mechanical-actor-class-sources.png?nolink |}}
-  - Note that you may have to recompile the project and/or restart the Editor after that. Don't be scared by some possible errors here, regenerate the IDE project, rebuild and start again.

+    * ... and the source file:<code cpp>
+void AMyMechanicalActor::Tick(float DeltaTime)
