Visual Effect - Select which visual effect you wish to use on your Object.
Enable at Start - Determines if the Visual Effect should be enabled at the start of the game, of if it should be activated by a message. Message to Turn ON - Allows you to define what message(s) will activate the Visual Effect. Message to Turn OFF - Allows you to define what message(s) will deactivate the Visual Effect.
Position Offset - Allows you to define the position of the Visual Effect in relation to the Object. This parameter is visualised with a blue cube Gizmo that changes position as you enter new X, Y, and Z values.

Preview and Stop - allow you to test a VFX applied to an object during Build mode
The boxes for many VFX Attributes related to colour do not accept RGB values, but Float4 values. The first three boxes accept a number from 0 to 1 to set the color. The fourth box accepts a value from 0 to 1, where 0 is transparent and 1 is fully visible.
