Fix: Unreal Blueprint Spawn Actor With Physics Fails on Init

Spawn a falling debris actor; physics not enabled; debris floats.

Defer physics enable

Actor = SpawnActorDeferred(...);
Actor->SetPhysicsSimulationEnabled(true);
FinishSpawningActor(Actor, Transform);

Physics enabled after world is properly attached.

Or use BeginPlay

Physics enable in BeginPlay; runs after spawn complete.

Audit physics-spawning code

Each spawn that needs physics; verify timing.

“Spawn ordering matters for physics. Defer for safety.”

Build a SafeSpawnPhysics helper. The defer pattern is encapsulated; reusable.
