Required permission

Icon Automation requires Roblox legacy-universe:manage when it applies icons or localized names. RoControl will ask for this permission when the module needs it.

Setup flow

  1. Open the game overview.
  2. Enable Icon Automation.
  3. Authorize Roblox manage access if prompted.
  4. Open Icons.
  5. Set the event name and start time.
  6. Choose whether to restore the original icon after the countdown.
  7. Upload custom stage assets or use the bundled timer overlays.
  8. Run a check manually.
  9. Review the desired stage and next change time.

Example event setup

Event name: Lucky Weekend
Event start: 2026-05-08 18:00
Now window: 240 minutes
Restore original icon: enabled
Sync localized name: enabled

Localized name behavior

When name sync is enabled, RoControl can update localized Roblox names with a countdown title. Keep the French fallback title clean because it is the source used when a localized Roblox title is missing.

Example fallback title:

Arena Events

Example countdown title:

Arena Events - Lucky Weekend starts now

Discord settings

Discord integrations are available when the backend secrets are configured. The module can send reminders and optionally sync a Discord server icon.

Secret stateBehavior

Bot token and guild configuredServer icon sync can be used
Missing secretsDiscord controls remain unavailable or show warnings

Recovery

If the wrong icon is applied:

  1. Open Icon Automation.
  2. Check the current public icon.
  3. Use Restore original now if the original icon is correct.
  4. Upload or capture a better original icon if needed.
  5. Run another check.

Drive it from your game (Roblox SDK)

Beyond dashboard countdowns, you can feed Icon Automation directly from in-game events using the server-only Roblox SDK: register recurring schedules or report live events, and RoControl resolves a single winning overlay. See SDK Icon Automation Events.
