It's possible to create a locked state on a rigidbody by creating a TransientField that will keep the rigdbody Sleeping even after it leaves the Field's area of influence

UE - Simulation - Physics - Sep 5, 2024

The licensee found a way to lock the state of a rigidbody as PBDRigid->ObjectState() == EObjectStateType::Sleeping by subjecting it to a particular transient field composed of a RadialFalloff and a ...

Physics Linear Velocity functions from UPrimitiveComponent always return (0,0,0) velocity
