Hi. I can get the Button that is clicked with mouse.getButton(), but how do i get it when the button goes up again, so it will only go into an if() if the button is released, you know what i mean?

Use Greenfoot.mouseClicked(Class class);

have it call a method that waits for the button to be released:

public void act()
{
    MouseInfo m = Greenfoot.getMouseInfo();
    if(m != null) checkClick(m);
}
 
private void checkClick(MouseInfo m)
{
    if(m.getButton() == 1) //left-click
    {
        while(m.getButton() != 0); //This is more than likely the worst way to wait, but it's what came into my head at the time :)
        //Your left-click code here
    }
    else if(m.getButton() == 3) //right-click
    {
        while(m.getButton() != 0);
        //Your right-click code here
    }
}
As mentioned, it's probably not the most efficient way of checking, but it should work. I shall test it now.

Ok, my code seems to crash my Greenfoot. I knew it would be bad XD

I have noticed that the mouse button detection provided is a bit sketchy. As long as one button is used at a time, there is no problem. But, when the buttons are pressed and released in a mixed fashion, sometimes a press or release is missed. This makes it impossible to get all mouse button releases. Also, I find that increasing the scenario speed helps to minimize the missing presses/clicks. For the right mouse button 'getMouseInfo().getButton()' should return 3.

jeah no bad attempt, but the while is bad, cause greenfoot will get stuck in the loop

import greenfoot.*;
 
public class Buttons extends World
{
    final int btnNONE = 0, btnLEFT = 1, btnRIGHT = 3;
 
    public Buttons()
    {
        super(800, 600, 1);
    }
 
    public void act()
    {
        MouseInfo mi = Greenfoot.getMouseInfo();
        if (Greenfoot.mousePressed(null))
        {
            int button = mi.getButton();
            if (button == btnLEFT) System.out.println("Left");
            if (button == btnRIGHT) System.out.println("Right");
        }
        if (Greenfoot.mouseClicked(null))
        {
            int button = mi.getButton();
            if (button == btnLEFT) System.out.println("No left");
            if (button == btnRIGHT) System.out.println("No right");
        }
    }
}
Create a new world and copy the code above into it. Run it at normal speed using one button at a time and then with mixing the buttons up. Then increase the speed of the scenario and re-evaluate.

That is very vague. I have no idea what you are trying to say! Please elaborate in detail.

it will join the if() every tick, but i just want it to join once per click

Please show the code you are using (I should not have to tell you that every time you have a problem).

You are missing the 'Greenfoot.mouseClicked(this)' condition.

Actually, you do not need to get the MouseInfo object before the 'if' statement. Remove it and use this:
?

if (Greenfoot.mouseClicked(this) && !Greenfoot.mouseDragEnded(this) && Greenfoot.getMouseInfo().getButton() == 3)
