When you throw the grenade from the weapon file, and you create the grenade entity, you will get a pointer to that entity.
If you make a couple of Set/Get functions for that, when it gets thrown you can set the boolean through those functions. You can read up about pointers/classes/polymorphism/inheritance/etc on google if you don't understand any of them.
