Here you will understand all the variables and the functions of each one!
If you have a barrel and want to make it explode when hit by a projectile, or something similar. just add the "Explosion" component and you can rename it to anything, you will see that the component will have a variable, called "Explosion Profile", which must be filled with a data asset:
