In case anybody ever stumbles upon this page, the answer is to make a new blueprint, add a destructible component and a radial force component. make sure the destructible has set simulate physics on, and in the settings for the destructible turn off “enable impact damage” as thats what makes it crumble on the floor. Then just trigger the radial force component and use an Apply radial damage node with the destructible as the target.
