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; // 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.
