I am not sure why this code doesent work as intended, Please help me with alternatives!

So the intended result should be that if I press Z or "corn" it should print corn since tester is at 0, then switch tester to 1. Then If I press it again it prints not corn and set the tester to 2, until it resets

The problem is if I press Z or "corn" it just fires it all at once. so it prints the words "corn", "not corn" and "not corn two" all at the same time rather than per button press

I have wasted 2 hours on this already :(

Here's the code ,Thanks in advance!

var tester = 0
## corn stands for the Z key
func _process(delta):

	if Input.is_action_just_released("corn") and tester == 0:
		print("corn")
		tester = 1
		
	if Input.is_action_just_released("corn") and tester == 1:
		print("not corn")
		tester = 2
		
	if Input.is_action_just_released("corn") and tester == 2:
		print("not corn two")
		tester = 0
	pass

If action was released in the current frame then Input.is_action_just_released() will be true for the whole duration of that frame, no matter how many times you call it. So results you're getting are as expected. is_action_just_pressed() returns true every time, tester gets incremented and is exactly the value you test for in the following if

Adding to xyz's reply, this code should do what you want:

	if Input.is_action_just_released("corn"):
		if tester == 0:
			print("corn")
			tester = 1
		elif tester == 1:
			print("not corn")
			tester = 2
		elif tester == 2:
			print("not corn two")
			tester = 0
