Hello Everybody, hope you are doing well.
Unreal engine!!
As Forum Named, how to Achieve that Wonderful Effect when an explosion Occurs and surrounding trees,grass, other foliage affect according to its Shockwave (Radial Force)?
** Need to combine this with Simple Globle Wind material, a wonderful tutorial shadered on YouTube by PrismaticaDevπ.

Hey, one solution is to store the explosion information to a buffer, like a Render Target or RVT. Your explosions are happening with particles probably anyway, so you can create an invisible particle that only writes to these buffer, but not visible in the base pass. Niagara can write to an RT ba itself, so it can be a good solution for that.
The buffer would be a vector buffer which contains the directions away from the explosion origin, with their strength (further we are from the explosion weaker is the effect).
When we have that we read that buffer in each material of affected meshes and add that information to the existing wind strength.

A limited plan B could be a Material Collection Parameter which stores several vector for explosion locations and a range/strength, and the materials read these and calculate direction/strength for that. And these positions are written by a blueprint that writes the data of the last few explosions.
But that could cause issues when there is more explosions in thr same time than the support

Any document or tutorial link for These? What is RVT and render targets?
I tried your method B and looks pretty good, but I am interested in this Method A.

Render Target is like a texture but you can write into it during runtime, using it as a buffer between frames, like projecting particles there and such. RVT is Runtime Virtual Texture, and that can use as an RT as well.
Sadly I do not know any specific tutorial, but I saw interactive snow or foliage solved by it, so maybe that can drive you closer.
Maybe that : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dPLgGMr616Q
