Note that agents returns a reference to the agent itself, not the object. For example: {alive _x} count agents; would return an error. But you can assign the agent a reference using setVariable, and then reference it, for example: {alive (_x getVariable ["agentObject",objNull]) count agents; would return the number of agents still alive - BUT you would need to define "agentObject" after you create the agent, for example: _agent = createAgent [_type, _position, [], _radius, "NONE"];_agent setVariable["agentObject",_agent,true];

Alternatively, to get object from agent reference use agent command.

In debug console, pointing at an agent:
cursorObject // seems to refer to an agent (ex.: Agent 0xcbce41c0), but it is an object
teamMember cursorObject // returns the same value Agent 0xcbce41c0, but now it is the agent
cursorObject in agents // so, will return false (even if you can read the value Agent 0xcbce41c0 in the agents array)
teamMember cursorObject in Agents // returns true. TeamMember allows to refer to the agent under the cursorObject
agent teamMember cursorObject isEqualTo cursorObject // True, same object.
