Avatar shape custom emotes not working

[pravusjif]

A couple of creators reported that in SDK7 AvatarShape is not supporting custom emotes and it only works with standard emotes.

const myAvatar = engine.addEntity()
AvatarShape.create(myAvatar, {
    id: "",
    emotes: ['urn:decentraland:matic:collections-v2:0xbb4edbfbc558f81d1486c373029ac5c8413f4756:0'],
    wearables: [],
  expressionTriggerId:'urn:decentraland:matic:collections-v2:0xbb4edbfbc558f81d1486c373029ac5c8413f4756:0',
  expressionTriggerTimestamp: Date.now()/1000
})

Transform.create(myAvatar, {
    position: Vector3.create(4, 0.25, 5)
})

In godot-explorer we use AvatarEmoteCommand component to trigger emotes (this component is used as read-only for PlayerIdentityData)

Check this code:
https://github.com/leanmendoza/mannakia-dcl-scene/blob/main/src/scenes/avatar-test/index.tsx#L79
(this scene mirrors the emote the primary player triggers)

@leanmendoza the code you shared only works with the basic emotes, not the custom emotes, right ?

For custom emotes, this log-line from onPlayerExpressionObservable does not show a different kind of expressionId as I have in my example.

The onPlayerExpressionObservable is the old one from SDK6, it only allows to listen for the primary player (engine.PlayerEntity)
The AvatarEmoteCommand component allows you to listen for every player and the emoteUrn property could be a base-emote, custom emotes (v1 and v2).
For players is read-only, for the primary player you have triggerEmote and triggerSceneEmote as well.
For AvatarShape the component is write-only and it triggers any emote you specify

I tried AvatarShape.getMutable(entity).expressionTriggerId = urnURL, it doesn't work.
AvatarShape.getMutable(entity).expressionTriggerId = 'wave' works, however.
