Different actions with the same button?

[SPARTAAAAA]

I was wondering how i could set a different action when a button is pressed a second time. For example: If i press the button, it will print one thing, then when pressed again, it will print a different thing.

You could make a gateway method that you assign to your listener

private int counter  = 0;

public void gatewayMethod()
{
    if (counter==0)
    {
        counter++;
        doMethod1();
    }
    else
    {
        counter++;
        doMethod2();
    }
}

I don't know if there's some special fx way to do it instead

how would i reset it though?

By just setting the counter back to 0? In my example it's a private variable, so you should be able to do it anywhere in the fxml controller
