I think you're looking for something like this (C#)...

 RaycastHit hit;
 if (Physics.Raycast (lineStartPosition, lineEndPosition - lineStartPosition, out hit)) {
     switch(hit.transform.gameObject.tag)
     {
         case "Player":
             //Output message
             print("player detected");
         break;
     }
 }

Mark, the script does work, I use it in a game I am making right now. The only thing is that "lineStartPosition" and "lineEndPosition" are Vector3 variables, but not variables that are defined in Unity namespace. You must replace them with your own Vector3s that you used to set your Line Renderer positions with.

Maybe you can paste in a snippet of your current code for the Line Renderer, and I can show you from there.

You may need to Raycast each line segment yourself. I hope there is a better answer

Yes. You do Raycasting in scripts.
