An array can be used for the color list (even if only two of them). An index value can point to the current color set to the actor. A method can be added to "get" the current color:

    Color[] colors = { Color.GREEN, Color.RED };
    int colorValue = 0; // index of colors array
     
    public button() {
        setImage(new GreenfootImage(70, 50));
        changeColor();
    }
         
    public Color getCurrentColor() {
        return colors[colorValue];
    }
     
    private void changeColor() {
        colorValue = (colorValue+1)%2; // toggle index between 0 and 1
        getImage().setColor(getCurrentColor());
        getImage().fillOval(0, 0, 20 , 20);
    }
     
    public void act()
    {
        if (Greenfoot.mouseClicked(this)) {
            changeColor();
        }
    }

            Actor bullet = new Bullet();
            Actor enemy = new Enemy();
            getWorld().addObject(bullet, getX(), getY());
            MouseInfo mouse = Greenfoot.getMouseInfo();
            bullet.turnTowards(mouse.getX(), mouse.getY());
 
        }
    }

that code is the players shoot code and i was trying to use the button to transfer from the player aiming with the mouse to the game auto aiming for you towards the nearest enemy. i was having trouble with having greenfoot finding and implementing what enemy was the closest enemy and it would help if you also put that in as well

Your shoot method could simply be:

public void shoot() {
    Button button = ((MyWorld)getWorld()).getButton();
    if (Color.GREEN.equals(button.getCurrentColor())) manualShoot(); else autoShoot();
}
 
private void manualShoot()
{
    if ( ! Greenfoot.mouseClicked(null)) return;
    Mouse mouse = Greenfoot.getMouseInfo();
    Actor bullet = new Bullet();
    getWorld().addObject(bullet, getX(), getY());
    bullet.turnTowards(mouse.getX(), mouse.getY());
}
 
private void autoShoot()
{
    if (getWorld().getObjects(Enemy.class).isEmpty()) return;
    Actor closest = null;
    int closeness = 9999;
    for (Object obj : getWorld().getObjects(Enemy.class)) {
        Actor enemy = (Actor)obj;
        int dist = (int)Math.hypot(getX()-enemy.getX(), getY()-enemy.getY());
        if (dist < closeness) {
            closeness = dist;
            closest = enemy;
        |
    }
    Actor bullet = new Bullet();
    getWorld().addObject(bullet, getX(), getY());
    bullet.turnTowards(closest.getX(), closest.getY());
}
You may have another way (or other ways) to get the button object for line 2.

Safe, reliable solution: Make sure your world knows about the button:
?

class MyWorld : World {
    ...
    private button shootButton = ...; // add creation of the shootButton on the right side
    ...
    public boolean isManualShootActive() {
        return Color.BLACK.equals(shootButton.getCurrentColor());
    }
    ...
}
?
1

3
public void shoot() {
     if (isManualShootActive()) manualShoot(); else autoShoot();
}
Or unsafe solution (will not work reliable if you have more than one button).

private void manualShoot()
{
    MouseInfo mouse = Greenfoot.getMouseInfo();

    turnTowards(mouse.getX(), mouse.getY());
    if ( ! Greenfoot.mouseClicked(null)) return;
    Actor bullet = new bullet();
    getWorld().addObject(bullet, getX(), getY());
    bullet.setRotation(getRotation());
}

The code here accounts for this, if I understand you correctly.
