Diagnostic code · ARA1609

Entity selector is ambiguous

A name selector matches multiple resolved entities in the selected document. The engine refuses to guess: inspection or the edit batch fails and lists candidate targets through fixes.

Common causes

  • Several entities share a display name.
  • A short name path does not distinguish repeated prefab instances or hierarchy branches.

Fixes

  • Choose a concrete entity ID from ara query or the diagnostic's suggested replacements.

  • Use a longer selector such as name:Floor/Crate, and pass --doc when the project contains several documents.

  • Constant: AMBIGUOUS_ENTITY
