Stop physics from affecting rotation

I’m creating a game with a planet so I have a sphere with gravity as a constant force acting towards its center. I have set the world gravity to 0. But since I’m adding forces, the engine physics is rotating it. How can I set the physics to not affect the body’s rotation?

In Unity, I can achieve this effect by using RigidBodyConstraints.freezeRotation.

No one?

Unreal doesn’t have such an option. Perhaps you might be able to accomplish this by resetting the actor’s rotation on that axis on event tick. I haven’t tried that, though, so not sure if it’ll work as expected.
