Maybe use an ObjectValue inside the dynamite.

You can store the player that threw the dynamite.

When you say track the kills I assumed you meant the damage, since not every throw will kill.

If you want the “kill” then check if the hit player’s health is zero. Then record the kill for the player that threw the dynamite.

With the dynamite, you could use :SetAttribute() to easily track the player that threw it. Just have something like: (when creating the dynamite)

dynamite:SetAttribute("ThrownPlayer", thrownPlayer.Name)

To reference which player threw the dynamite, just do

local attacker = game.Players[dynamite:GetAttribute("ThrownPlayer")]

Maybe check the tool box for a working grenade and see how they did it.

here is the script in the tool how would I incorporate ur idea in this script this is in the tool btw

local tool = script.Parent


local cooldown = 3
local coolingDown = false

local explodesIn = 2


local char


tool.Equipped:Connect(function()

	char = tool.Parent
end)

tool.Unequipped:Connect(function()

	char = nil
end)


local mouseCF

tool.MouseInfoRE.OnServerEvent:Connect(function(plr, mouseHit)
	mouseCF = mouseHit
end)


tool.Activated:Connect(function()

	if coolingDown then return end

	coolingDown = true


	char.Humanoid:LoadAnimation(script.ThrowAnim):Play()

	wait(0.3)


	local clone = tool.Handle:Clone()
	clone.Attachment.Fire.Enabled = true
	clone.Name = "DynaMite"
	clone.Sound:Play()
	tool.Handle.Transparency = 1


	local bv = Instance.new("BodyVelocity")
	bv.Velocity = mouseCF.LookVector * 75
	bv.Parent = clone


	clone.Parent = workspace

	clone.CanCollide = true


	local explodeCoro = coroutine.wrap(function()


		wait(explodesIn)

		local explosion = Instance.new("Explosion")
		local sound = clone.ExplodeSound
		explosion.BlastRadius = 7
		explosion.TimeScale = 3
		explosion.Position = clone.Position
		explosion.DestroyJointRadiusPercent = 100
		explosion.Parent = clone
		explosion.BlastPressure = 10000000
		explosion.Visible = false
		sound:Play()
		explosion.Parent = game.Workspace
		sound.Parent = game.Workspace
		local newppart = game.Workspace:FindFirstChild("DynaPart")
		newppart.Anchored = true
		newppart.Transparency = 0.5
		newppart.Position = clone.Position + Vector3.new(0,5,0)
		local emit = Instance.new("ParticleEmitter")
		emit.Enabled = true
		emit.Parent = game.Workspace.DynaPart
		emit.Texture = "rbxassetid://405886187"
		clone:Destroy()
		wait(1.5)
		explosion:Remove()
		sound:Remove()
	    
	end)
	explodeCoro()

	wait(0.1)

	bv:Destroy()

    
	wait(cooldown - 0.2)
	
	 
	game.Debris:AddItem(clone,2)
	tool.Handle.Transparency = 0
	coolingDown = false
end)

If you don’t mind, could I also see the LocalScript side of this? (If you don’t wanna share publicly I get it, you can also PM me if you don’t wanna share it)

I used “creator” tags.

When the player throws the dynamite, give it an attribute called “Player” with the value being the player instance or name (whatever you choose is fine)

You can do this by writing dynamite:SetAttribute("Player", player)
Then when the other person is hit, check the initial person who threw it by doing:
local thrownPlayer = dynamite:GetAttribute("Player")
and you can award kills by presumably doing
thrownPlayer.leaderstats.Kills.Value += 1
