The event commands will repeat themselves when they come to the end. The complete list is as follows:
The event commands will repeat themselves when they come to the end. Ones marked as self-handled will have different behavior depending on the object type and current state. The command names come from leftover debug information in the GameBoy Advance version. The complete list is as follows:

This is an unofficial tool that makes ''[[Rayman Designer]]'' modding much easier. It also comes with a large content package which includes a great deal of content from ''[[Rayman 1|Rayman]]'' and ''[[Rayman Junior]]'' that was not available in ''Rayman Designer'', and also some new unofficial content.

*If events are placed in groups beyond group 9, it is found that these groups have the same names as the game's levels. This reveals the names of six additional levels. It seems that they have been cut from the final game (or never been finished): "The Gates of the Jungle" ([[The Dream Forest]]), "Diabolical Tunes" ([[Band Land]]), "The Fire Avalanche" ([[The Blue Mountains]]), "Miniature Madness" ([[Picture City]]), "Cloud of Doom" ([[The Caves of Skops]]) and "Dessert Anyone?" ([[Candy Château]]).
