1. Add Niagara to your Build.cs file
2. I created a basic Niagara System using the Engine's default Simple Explosion template, but you can use whatever you want. FX->Niagara System->Copy Existing System->Simple Explosion. I then changed the velocity to be 0, 1, 0.
3. Add system to character after the code compiles.
