  1. What do you want to achieve?

I want to detect a target who got killed by a killer & the killer who killed the target for my upcoming game.

  1. What is the issue?

I’m unable to know what to use in this situation & might need some help.

Kill Detection - How can this be done?

In your kill script you will need to add these few lines

local tag = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
tag.Name = "creator"
tag.Parent = playerTakingDamage.Character.Humanoid
tag.Value = attakingPlayer
Debris:AddItem(tag, 0.5)

You will also need:
local Debris = game:GetService("Debris")

Last thing:
A script in StarterCharacterScripts

local char = script.Parent
char.Humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
    if char.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") then
        local killedBy = char.Humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator").Value
   end
end)

Maybe check out this video I made about making a reputation system like from Super Power Training Simulator we had to detect who killed the player:

tool:

tool.Activated:Connect(function()
tool.ToolParts.HitPart.Touched:Connect(function(touch)
local thisPlayer = game.Players:GetPlayerFromCharacter(tool.Parent)
local Tagged = Instance.new("ObjectValue")
					Tagged.Name = "creator"
					Tagged.Value = thisPlayer
					Tagged.Parent = touch.Parent.Humanoid
end)
end)

see who killed him(inside the SSS) not local script ofc

local Players = game:GetService("Players")

Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
	player.CharacterAdded:Connect(function(character)
		local humanoid = character:WaitForChild("Humanoid")

		humanoid.Died:Connect(function()
			if humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator") then
				local FindPlayer = humanoid:FindFirstChild("creator").Value
                print("yes) 
			end
		end)
	end)
end)
